Really impressed with your high quality guests eg your Danish professor today. I don’t subscribe to many podcasts but GD Politics is on my must subscribe and listen

I’ve listened to Galen for years and was happy and excited to support this new venture, but come on, man. There’s a whole world outside of New York.

Host Galen is a savvy and engaging podcast hosting and producing veteran who knows how to balance his analysis with the analysis of the excellent guests he gets. Topics are extremely relevant week by week and episodes are more fun without ABC to answer to
