How does the Post Office work?

It’s the government on your doorstep — the only Executive Branch agency that visits every home in the country on a regular basis. So how does the USPS do it?

Our guests for this episode are Allison Marsh (sc.edu/study/colleges_schools/artsandsciences/…), history professor at the University of South Carolina and Kevin Kosar (twitter.com/kevinrkosar), a Vice President at R Street.
