Twenty years ago, Dan Savage encouraged progressives to move to blue cities to escape the reactionary politics of red places. And he got his wish. Over the last two decades, rural places have gotten redder and urban areas much bluer.

Great. Thoughtful show. Plus a Reedie
The left got schooled in the last election. Our blue cities had the biggest shift. We are doing it wrong-we need fresh perspectives and conservations instead of the tired slogans and name calling on the political extreme. This podcast helps us with that. Definitely recommend listening.
New Savage & the Goodman episodes were a breath of fresh air. These are real conversations.
I live in the MAGA provinces and think about my presence here with both joy and trepidation. Being blue in a red state can be lonely. But so can being blue in a blue city and that might be the whole problem. I’m glad I found this smart, funny podcast. The insights give me hope and the voices make me feel less isolated. More episodes please.
David Hyde has such a great voice! He’s pithy and quick. But also I’ve been waiting for a podcast like this—-one that breaks from status quo, virtue signaling modern progressives. We need a wake up call. Bring it on!!!! (And Thank you!!!)
