Abstract

Episode · I Hate Politics Podcast · The government from city and county to state and federal is one of the biggest buyers of goods and services in any modern economy, but government procurement is often accused of being corrupt and wasteful. Sunil Dasgupta asks former chief procurement officer of Baltimore City,  Erin Sher Smyth, to unbox the vast, byzantine, and changing world of government buying from police body cameras to cybersecurity. Music by Alexandria alt-rock band Jackie and the Treehorns.
