About Hannah McCarthy

Hannah McCarthy has been working in journalism since 2013, covering arts and culture on the Massachusetts island of Martha’s Vineyard, adolescent opioid addiction, urban caving, and professional wrestling in New York, and New Hampshire politics before settling into her role as co-host of New Hampshire Public Radio’s Civics 101.

Over many dozens of interviews and hundreds of hours of research and production, Hannah has worked to refine her approach to our governmental and political history in order to understand how this nation, and the millions of events that define it, really came to be. The daily task of the podcast is to distill unwieldy topics and empower the listener to engage with this democracy. As part of the educational mission of the show, Hannah and her co-host visit middle and high schools to teach podcasting to students and their teachers and discuss the subjects tackled on Civics 101.
