  • The most reasonable voice in politics

    I never miss Chuck’s podcast. Gives an inside view of what is really discussed behind the scenes among both liberals and conservatives. Some say he’s a centrist - he calls himself an incrementalist. I appreciate he is always digging for the truth.

  • Love this podcast

    This is one of my favorite podcasts. Though I don’t always agree with everything Chuck says, I appreciate his reasoning behind it. And I appreciate he doesn’t expect us to agree with everything the says. In fact, he invites conversations with people he may not agree with. There are a lot of ads, as others mentioned, but those don’t bother me because I skip them. I learn something new every episode which helps in my conversations about the world. Thanks Chuck!

  • Please get some new ads

    Like many have already said, too many of the same commercials every 20 minutes of Chuck. Been listening to Cindy Crawford complain about how people give her bad compliments for a year now.

    Cassidy might be your friendly acquaintance but he irreparably ruined the health of this country and the world by confirming Kennedy. That is an unforgivable offense.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Full Episode - Trump Gets A “Deal” While Throwing Himself A Party - Why Hispanics Are Now The Swing Vote In America… And How To Reach Them
Q: What advice would you give campaigns about showing up on Spanish-language media?
Show up in Spanish language environments with authentic language and relevant local issues; avoid tokenism and ensure messaging is tailored to the specific Latino communities being targeted.
Full Episode - Trump Gets A “Deal” While Throwing Himself A Party - Why Hispanics Are Now The Swing Vote In America… And How To Reach Them
Q: How has the TelevisaUnivision merger changed content strategy for Latino voters in the U.S.?
The merger integrates content across Mexican and U.S. audiences to ensure resonance with all Hispanic communities in the United States, focusing on content that reflects diverse Hispanic experiences rather than solely Mexican-American perspectives.
Full Episode - Trump Gets A “Deal” While Throwing Himself A Party - Why Hispanics Are Now The Swing Vote In America… And How To Reach Them
Q: Walk me through how the Latino vote is segmented and what campaigns get wrong when addressing Hispanics.
Adele argues that Hispanics are not monolithic; segmentation by country of origin, generation, and location matters. Campaigns must address Hispanics in their language and tailor issues—economy, border policy—rather than relying on broad English-language messaging.
Chuck’s Commentary - The Iran Ceasefire Has…Ceased + The Voters You Don’t Hear From Actually Decide American Elections
Q: What do you think about private equity's involvement in college sports?
It's not a knee-jerk negative; private equity could fund infrastructure like stadiums and campuses, potentially creating long-term value, but there are risks about control and long-term impact on the sport's health.
Interview Only w/ Daniel Alegre - Why Hispanics Are Now The Swing Vote In America… And How To Reach Them
Q: What role does language play in engaging Hispanic voters and consumers?
Language is pivotal; delivering messages in Spanish with culturally relevant issues increases engagement and credibility, whereas English-only messaging tends to dilute impact; dual-language approaches and localized Spanish-language platforms are critical.
