In this episode, Alex and Trista talk with Dr. Austin Kocher, a political and legal geographer with two decades of experience, about common misconceptions, what the average American isn’t knowledgeable about, and where he thinks the future of enforcement is headed. He critically analyzes publicly available government data and produces work that is easy for the average person to understand. It is an honor to have him on the podcast!
