  • It’s GD good!

    It took me a while to realize that 538 Politics went away. I am so glad Galen Druke is bringing his sharp thinking (and wit) to a new podcast. I especially enjoy hearing 538 alums on the show—it feels like home.

  • Great Interviewer, Fun Podcast Host

    Over the years of listening to Galen Druke on the 538 Politics podcast, I became impressed with his skill as an interviewer to the point of enjoying his reporting almost more than the repartee with the crew. He has such great rapport with his guests and asks interesting questions. The GD Politics Podcast has all you loved about the 538 Politics podcast (games, drafts); but with more Galen. Great Show!
