You guys didn’t even talk about Colorado and New Jersey during gerrymandering discussion. It was a real bummer!
Please just stick to objective analysis and reporting and leave out the subjective claims - having lived in NYC for 10 years and then moved, I realize that everyone has obnoxious main character energy and thinks the world revolves around them and their decision to live in NYC; no one is here for that.
No one does it like GD!
GD politics is everything you need and want in a true political podcast. Moderate, focused on the numbers, rigorously edited by Galen himself, and naturally funny. He brings the facts. He does not yell or show frustration in policies he doesn’t agree with. You can tell Galen is friends with a lot of the guests and their chemistry shines through. What a wonderful person and show.
One of the highlights of my week. Great replacement for the 538 podcast. Highly recommend joining the Patreon, it’s worth it.
