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.
