Observing a dearth of podcasts focused on the New Deal, the USA's "ambitious response to the Great Depression in the 1930s", host Eira Tansey launches her own. After an introductory episode, she begins talking about the government working to bring electric power to farmers and rural families.

Does the image contain text?

Yes: … and the text is also present as real text nearby.
