Welcome to the GD POLITICS podcast! We officially launched the podcast RSS feed today with this trailer. I hope you’ll subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts!
TRAILER:
Hello and welcome to the GD POLITICS podcast! I’m Galen Druke. You might know me from my time hosting the FiveThirtyEight Politics podcast, but, if not, all the better. I’m glad you’re here!
I covered elections for nearly a decade at FiveThirtyEight and my goal in that job was to describe the world using data and evidence, while also having a sense of humor.
GD POLITICS is going to abide by a similar ethos, with plenty of new stuff thrown in. I will to talk to journalists, politicians and folks with compelling ideas about the world who also know how to laugh.
A lot of that will be politics-focused, but not exclusively. Because, as we say here: “GD politics!” Sometimes we just have to talk about something else. Regardless of the topic, curiosity, rigor, and a sense of humor will guide the way.
This is going to be Galen unfiltered, or, at least, less filtered. I want to speak directly to you and hear directly from you, building community along the way. And I hope this will be a place where all kinds of politically inclined people feel welcome.
Speaking of community, I also hope you’ll subscribe! I am in the very early days of this project and it’s going to be an adventure. The exact format, number of episodes, what’s behind a paywall, use of video and the likes will in some ways depend on you.
This is not going to be the same podcast I just finished hosting. I’m hoping it’s going to be better! And with your support, I think we can get there.
Make sure to subscribe here and in your favorite podcast app.
Thank you so much,
GD
