The Focus Group Podcast

I like hearing from the voters themselves - and Sarah does a great job analyzing results and making it all entertaining.

I’m so impressed with Sarah’s ability to remain calm and focused in the face of the uninformed and misinformed voter. I yell at my phone a lot, but still enjoy the podcast. Always interesting and informative. Sarah is so intelligent and yet, very entertaining at the same time. I never miss it.

This is becoming one of my favorite podcast to keep up with how people are thinking and feeling in this country about the election and different people and things. Sarah is awesome at what she does and fun to listen to.

Center left loving the non-MAGA exposure to center right political machinations. Seeking common ground and finding it in the data. Your work is valuable and I’m so grateful I stumbled on the Bulwark’s family of pods. Post-debate crisis update: this is absolutely, 💯the pod we all need right now. We can tell ourselves soothing stories to get through the news cycles, but what we really need is to understand what the small but might groups of persuadable voters who will actually be making this existential decision in November think about their choices. No more lying to ourselves. We need to face the future with clear eyes and some curiosity for the possibilities. So grateful for this pod! Updated review 7/13/24: THIS IS THE PODCAST I NEED IN THIS MOMENT!! I want unflinching candor about the situation we find ourselves in. I find that with the Bulwark’s programs, as especially the Focus Group! We get to hear from ACTUAL VOTERS!! I have recommended this to all of my leftie friends and will continue to do so because I’m in that same camp and have been persuaded by this work! October 2024: I’m now a Bulwark Plus subscriber so I can listen to the pods without the pesky ads. I also heavily support their work to prevent Trump from stealing the presidency this election cycle. This podcast is a critical part of that work and provides nuanced context missing from quantitative polls. I just listened to the episode about The Youths and found my mouth hanging open as I learned their thoughts about current affairs. I suppose every generation goes through this, but the qualitative data really helps to bring home the point of how differently the generations are viewing politics, the future, important cultural divides, etc. BRAVO!!
