The Swing State

Politics is broken. The news cycle is exhausting. And somehow, three people who argue for fun decided to make a podcast about it. The Swing State is a weekly politics show covering U.S. domestic policy, global geopolitics, elections, democracy, Congress, the White House, foreign policy, and whatever else is currently on fire. We bring the research. We bring the receipts. We also bring opinions — clearly stated and vigorously defended. Each episode breaks down the big story of the week: what happened, why it matters, and what the other side is actually saying before we explain why we disagree.

The Swing State is a news podcast hosted by Unknown Host, with 14 episodes on record and a Required Pod Score of 80. PitchCentric scores this show on Booking Probability, Listen Score, and live audience signals refreshed every 24 hours.

  The ROAD to Housing Act: Fix or Failure? | The Swing State Ep. 11

  Jul 15, 202633 minS11

  It’s official. Despite high drama and the ultimate political plot twist of taking effect without a presidential signature, the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act is officially the law of the land. Supporters are calling it the most significant housing reform in over three decades. Critics say it’s a drop in the bucket compared to the mortgage "lock-in" crisis. But what does it actually mean for developers, renters, homebuyers, and local cities? In this episode, we are pulling back the curtain on this massive bipartisan package of housing provisions. We skip the dense legislative jargon and break down exactly who wins, who loses, and how this is going to reshape the American housing market over the next decade.
