I'm Sharon McMahon, a longtime high school government and law teacher who went viral for my social media posts informing the public on political misinformation, the history and function of the US government, and ways to support democracy. There are more than a million people in my online community.
Here's Where It Gets Interesting, my weekly podcast, is ranked in the top 1% of all podcasts, with over one million downloads a month. Beyond social media, I speak publicly, host one of the largest online book clubs, and make frequent TV and radio appearances.
