Artwork for Blue City Blues

America’s bluest cities developed their own distinctive culture, politics and governance. They became the leading edge of a cultural transformation that reshaped p... more

  • Necessary conversations

    The left got schooled in the last election. Our blue cities had the biggest shift. We are doing it wrong-we need fresh perspectives and conservations instead of the tired slogans and name calling on the political extreme. This podcast helps us with that. Definitely recommend listening.

  • Clowns to the left, clowns to the right

    New Savage & the Goodman episodes were a breath of fresh air. These are real conversations.

  • Don’t despair, Blue City Blues is here (for you)

    I live in the MAGA provinces and think about my presence here with both joy and trepidation. Being blue in a red state can be lonely. But so can being blue in a blue city and that might be the whole problem. I’m glad I found this smart, funny podcast. The insights give me hope and the voices make me feel less isolated. More episodes please.

  • Love the Host!

    David Hyde has such a great voice! He’s pithy and quick. But also I’ve been waiting for a podcast like this—-one that breaks from status quo, virtue signaling modern progressives. We need a wake up call. Bring it on!!!! (And Thank you!!!)
