  • Hosted by a legend among democracy reformers

    I love how Lawrence introduces a variety of guests and well-researched insights. Before the election he gave the deepest exploration of the electoral college I have ever encountered. Absolutely brilliant!

  • Many Thanks from a Rockefeller

    Since the Centrist wing of the GOP has collapsed, I have been looking at how and why both the system failed and how to fix it. This podcast helped a lot. I especially loved the episode with Bill Kristol!

  • The Podcast interview by Larry of “George”

    A sophisticated, respectful conversation between Larry and “George,” a thoughtful, articulate, anonymous Trump supporter. Fascinating, important and rare. The. country needs public discourse of the quality of this interview.
