Stand Up Citizen

Patrick Moore hosts Stand Up Citizen, a series born from the noise of a modern election cycle but built for the long haul. It’s a conversation for anyone feeling adrift in today’s fractious political climate, offering a way to sort through the distortion that often clouds our choices. This isn’t about partisan scoring or dry academic lectures. Instead, Moore returns to American first principles, revisiting founding documents and intentions not as relics, but as a practical lens for examining current issues. The idea is to refresh our collective civics IQ-to remember what was originally expected of a citizenry. Each episode aims to untangle a contemporary debate by grounding it in historical context and foundational ideals, providing listeners with a clearer, more critical framework for understanding the news. You’ll find the discussions are rooted in government and history, but always with an ear toward how that knowledge informs our present moment in politics. The overall tone is one of reasoned examination, a non-partisan effort to step back from the daily fray. In that sense, this podcast serves as a reminder that being an engaged citizen requires both understanding our past and standing firm in our present, equipped with more than just talking points. It’s about building a sturdier foundation for your own civic participation, one conversation at a time.
