  • They’re back - just not here

    Check it out! Galen has moved to his own podcast - GD Politics. Clare Malone is back. Not sure if a permanent fixture but so glad even if it’s only occasional guest appearance. I never could understand why she was removed and replaced by the execrable Perry Jr person.

  • Goodbye 538 šŸ˜©ā¤ļø

    I have enjoyed this show for many years. I’m so disappointed in ABC for cutting the 538 team and its amazing journalism. This was a truly unique, informative, and fun podcast. I’m happy that the host, Galen Druke, has started a new pod and I hope he finds success with the GD Politics Podcast. I’m unlikely to use ABC for other news coverage now.

  • RIP 538

    This podcast was my favorite source of data-backed political analysis before ABC shut them down. But it’s not gone! If you’ve been missing the 538 team go listen to GALEN’S NEW PODCAST: GD POLITICS! It’s like this one but even better!

  • Wish best for the team

    No better way to learn about and evaluate divisive politics than with data and humor. 538 will be missed.

    Fortunately I have also learned that we can still hear Galen - now at GD Politics!
