Building a Political System with Andrea Jones-Rooy

Exolore: facts-based fictional worldbuilding

It's hard to build a world without thinking about politics. Who has power, what can they do with it, and what happens when political ties turn sour? Dr. Andrea Jones-Rooy is here to answer all of my questions about what makes a government.

HOSTED by Dr. Moiya McTier (@GoAstroMo), astrophysicist and folklorist
