A black and white portrait of April Baer--a white woman with brown curly hair and a white blazer. The photo is against a green and blue ombre background. Text on the photo reads "Stateside with April Baer. Weekdays at 3pm and 8pm. On demand on your favorite podcast platform."

On this episode of Stateside, a new effort looks to shore up a critical part of our democracy: poll workers. We spoke with one of the people involved in the Support MI Clerks initiative.

Also, archivist Jason Schultz told us about the strange history of bounties on animal species in Michigan.
