In this episode, we explore the growing influence of podcasts in shaping public opinion and ask: Can podcasts sway elections more than traditional debates?

We dive into why presidential candidates, like Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, are hitting the podcast circuit, and how long-form conversations are changing the political landscape.

We also discuss the launch of This American Life Partners, their new listener-supported model, and the challenges facing the podcast industry with the rise of AI-generated content. Is AI a real threat, or can human creativity keep podcasts personal and authentic?
