  • Bidin' His Time

    Bidin' His Time
    Jul 20 2024

    Is Biden inching toward dropping out, or is he committed to staying put? If he did make a move, when would he do it, and how? Live in Madison, Jon, Lovett, Tommy, and Dan parse the latest news and discuss the worst and the weirdest of the Republican convention alongside guest host Errin Haines of The 19th and special guest Ben Wikler, chairman of the Wisconsin Democratic Party. Then, Sen. Tammy Baldwin stops by to talk about her crucial Senate race and what Democrats need to do to win Wisconsin in November.

  • Trump Is So Beatable

    Trump Is So Beatable
    Jul 19 2024

    Donald Trump returns to form in a rambling, divisive, and endless acceptance speech certain to remind swing voters why they don't like him, and to remind Democrats that they can beat him. The question now is, who will be the Democratic nominee to turn the race around? With more and more party leaders (and most voters) asking for a change, it looks more likely than ever that Biden will go. Jon, Lovett, Dan, and Tommy talk about what might come next, and size up Kamala Harris's many strengths on the trail.

  • Vance Vance Revolution

    Vance Vance Revolution
    Jul 18 2024

    JD Vance makes his debut as Donald Trump's running mate and doesn't exactly hit a home run. Joe Biden tests positive for COVID, details leak out about Chuck Schumer's tough-love conversation with the president, and the DNC blinks in the standoff over its plan for a virtual roll call. Jon, Lovett, Tommy, and Dan break down a truly packed day of news, from the problems with Vance's speech to the latest polling about the future of the Democratic ticket.

gives me hope for the future!

they do a good job of giving me a good overview of current events. I feel they are as tough on the left as they are the right.

These guys really take the sting out

America is weird and sad in so many ways right now, this team succeeds in making me feel slightly less depressed about it.

Very Funny and Informative

Great guests and discussions. They acknowledge the more liberal bent of the show and that is a-ok. Good alternative to Right Wing Radio/Podcasts and Fox News.
