Love It!
Great listen ! 🇺🇸
Awesome Policy Podcast
Thoughtful and funny insight into the policy world. I appreciate the guests each week on new topics, as well as the Below the Fold segment that tells me about policy that goes under the radar. Hosts get along great and the banter is the best part! Absolutely recommend this podcast.
A very welcome addition...
I listen to a lot of politics and policy podcasts, and this relatively young podcast is a great addition to a large field. Because it is student-run, the hosts and panelists are able discuss a surprisingly wide variety of issues (i.e., the Below the Fold segment) while, importantly, considering the historical context in which they occur. The host really pushes the guests and panelists to consider alternative perspectives, resulting in a lively, entertaining, and above all informative conversation. Very impressed, I just had to review. I definitely recommend subscribing.
