Great podcast with genuinely interesting policy ideas you won’t hear on other inferior political podcasts
I really liked the tax episode - didn’t think it would be possible to make that entertaining but it’s a great listen, and unlike other podcasts on policy it has a lot on solutions and fixes rather than just focusing on what’s not working. Recommended.
