Customer Reviews
Excellent Interviews
One of my favorite podcasts for bringing brilliant political thinkers into my world. If you’re listening to the rest of the standard political/social podcasts, then you need to add Cape Up to up your polisci game.
A Favorite!
Always thoughtful, smart, and kind. Capehart engages in real conversations that capture a big-picture political moment and an intimate, personal connection with guest, at the same time. He has a real gift as an interviewer, chooses great guests, and is just a pleasure to hang out with. I’m disappointed only when the episodes are too short!
One of My Favorites
This has quickly become one of my favorite podcasts. I appreciate the original line up of guests and topics. Great energy and focus.
