Gambling Our Rights? (with Audie Cornish)

Customer Reviews
Amazing interviews
Your interviews and focus groups are so interesting. I always learn something
Sarah: you are amazing
Your professionalism. Your ability to hear the voters. Your ability to hold judgement and bot go into sneer mode inspite of how much you despise Trump. Great pod.
Insightful
Good to hear the focus groups. Sometimes I want to jump in and say ‘oh no, look at the facts’, but that’s not the point. Insightful as to how to deal with the present and shape the future.
