Alex Kopytko is a ”radical centrist” that wants to understand the extremes. He has worked in politics and has studied public policy and political science. Alex argues that centrism is less about being a contrarian, it is about being able to change your mind and embrace an openness to new ideas. He is concerned about where the United States is headed and through conversations with people from all sides of the political spectrum, he wants to know how Americans can limit the tribalism that is flourishing. As someone that dances along the center-right of the political spectrum, Alex thinks the country needs to come together and talk to one another before it could be too late. This podcast covers domestic politics, as well as political philosophy, and international issues.

    Alexi Lalas Is Why the World Is Getting Sick of America

    Alex breaks down the increasingly tense on-air feud between Alexi Lalas and Zlatan Ibrahimović, arguing that it's about far more than soccer. Using their clashes as a case study, he explores how American exceptionalism, political polarization, and a growing refusal to listen have fueled frustration among many of America's closest allies. The result is a sharp, often funny look at why a seemingly trivial sports-media beef may actually reveal something important about America's place in the world today.

    Is Irvine Hotel California? (with Cole Costello)

    In this episode, Alex welcomes back longtime friend and former Chapman University roommate Cole Costello, a PhD candidate at the University of Montana with years of experience living in Orange County. The conversation begins with a critique of World Cup commentator Alexi Lalas before shifting into a broader discussion of Irvine, Orange County's unique culture, and why the region can feel both incredibly comfortable and strangely soulless. Alex and Cole then tackle California politics, including the Los Angeles mayoral race, Karen Bass's political resilience, and reality TV star Spencer Pratt's unlikely candidacy, using the race as a lens to explore the disconnect between national political narratives and local voter preferences. The episode culminates in a discussion of the "Graham Plattner dilemma," examining whether voters should overlook serious character concerns in pursuit of preferred policy outcomes.
