The G Word with Adam Conover Season 1

Adam unpacks the origins of the USDA, the ways in which it keeps food safe, its challenges, and how it's directly responsible for stuffed-crust pizza.

How's the weather? The answer could mean life or death. Adam meets with those tasked with predicting the weather and handling its fallout.

From bank bailouts to stimulus checks: Adam digs into the ways in which the government keeps people in the black — or shortchanges them.

"Hey, Siri. Who created GPS, drones, Roomba and you?" "A military defense agency responsible for some amazing — and awful — advancements in tech."

Adam examines the US government's helpful and harmful approaches to sickness and finds that incompetence and indifference are all too contagious.

A disillusioned Adam visits Barack Obama to see if the man who made “hope and change” a thing can explain how to make an actual impact in government.
