Great podcast!
Go off more
Trailer is actually pretty funny lol
Loved the Odessa Kelly episode! She is a natural for leading legislation for everyday people. I love JD, getting everyday people to represent everyday people !
Super informative and not pretentious
Highly recommend Bloc Party.
Love the show — content and people are great. The only gripe I have is that episodes aren’t posted on a consistent basis. I know this is a side thing for the hosts but I like the show a lot and would like to be able to reliably hear episodes every week or two!
Not annoying
I really appreciate your show and even if I don’t agree with all of your opinions (maybe like 10% lol), I like how you back up your opinions with research and facts. Hope to hear more from you ❤️
A great podcast the left needs right now
the other guy asks good questions tho
I get really sick of irony/cynicism/nihilism from the left, but this podcast isn’t like that at all. Super informative, well researched, wonky policy discussion etc. This is the way to get people on board with lefty/progressive ideas, not by shaming and mocking other people constantly.
Great show! Smart , insightful and sometimes funny but always informative . Definitely recommend to your friends in the fight for the soul of democracy .
Please invest more in the progressive movement in Texas.
I love this podcast already! Finally a fun show from the progressives who have a lot to say on complex topics but don’t take themselves too seriously!! I want more! This definitely just entered my morning podcast rotation. Sick of Hill creatures having the same conversations as Washington Post on every other podcast! Excited for hot takes and a more nuanced perspectives that aren’t rooted in Clinton era discourse. Yaaaassss!!
