About this Podcast:

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.
