  • TJ Stiles’ episode is great

    This podcast is always good, but I especially liked the latest episode featuring historian TJ Stiles. Also, Rachel Eugster’s voice is so pleasing that I could listen to her read the phone book!

  • I look forward to the next episode

    What a great podcast! It is upbeat and I often laugh out loud. David’s laugh is infectious and he and Rachel have an easy banter that still stays on topic. The shows are tight and well-paced. The guests are well-spoken and interesting. If you are new to the series, listen to the interview with Stephanie Perry in May, 2022. You won’t be disappointed.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Crooked Con: Rachel Makes a Friend (Season 12, Ep 11)
Q: What stood out most about Crooked Con for you?

A Tale of Racial Trauma and Healing, told from Iceland (Season 12, Ep 12)

A Tale of Racial Trauma and Healing, told from Iceland (Season 12, Ep 12)

It means building a durable network, continuing education, and keeping momentum through consistent outreach, storytelling, and collaboration with local and international groups, not chasing quick wins but creating a legacy of civic engagement.
C3PO Platform Planning, Philosophy, and Stand-up (Season 12, Ep13)
Q: How did Bob first find Democrats Abroad and get involved?
