I’ve really tried…
As an avid political junky (and podcast listener) I’ve really tried with this show but it’s just not great. Galen frequently makes seeming off hand generalizations that are not supported by evidence. For context, here’s an example from todays episode (and I’m paraphrasing here) “the Dems initially hated Trumps tariffs and then decided to keep them”. Zero specificity, no context to legislative challenges and fails to mention the predicted economic impact of his proposed tarifs. This kind of behavior isn’t surprising for most political hacks but as this show purports to be evidence-based (in a rather self congratulating way) it’s just extra irritating.

I listen to all of fivethirtyeight’s podcasts, and I’m especially excited about spending my election year with them. They’re obviously so smart about the numbers regarding politics, and they have a great interplay with one another.
