Great stuff!
I’m a political newb, and it’s a great way to learn about different aspects of the ecosystem
Must-listen for progressive changemakers
All-around excellent podcast that surveys a broad swath of the progressive movement, going in depth on practitioners' backgrounds and revealing some interesting details about the finer points of all kinds of different programs. As a progressive tech enthusiast I particularly enjoy the episodes that dive into all of the apps that have come to market in recent years. The host, with a very storied history in this sector, approaches it with tremendous insight and curiosity. If you are working in the progressive movement, or want to, you simply must subscribe!
One of the best podcasts
