In this second episode of Public Service Podcasting, we talk to Dr Bruce McDonald III, who hosts the Academics of PA podcast with William Hatcher and Josie Schafer.  You should definitely check them out.  We also have our third co-host, Dr Karin Bottom with us today.  It's a full house!

We talk to Bruce about some of the differences between US and UK public service teaching and research as well as finding out some fascinating facts about Bruce's background and route into public administration.  I bet you won't predict how he spent the 1990s! 

Bruce has also just taken over the editor in chief position for the journal Public Administration, a key journal in the field that celebrates its centenary next year.
