From Call Her Daddy to Joe Rogan, this was America’s podcast election. Now the votes are in, here are some of the best podcasts to help understand the result.
A solid listen throughout the election cycle, the post-election episode of The Run Up (from the NYT), One Voter to Understand Trump’s Win, does exactly what it promises.
Another genuinely helpful election wrap-up is Tara Palmeri’s conversation with the political strategist Steve Schmidt for her podcast, Somebody’s Gotta Win (Puck/The Ringer). To make sense of the media’s role in US elections, check out the latest Slow Burn series on the rise of Fox News (Slate).
To understand how gender came to be a driving force for the right wing, try Guardian US columnist Moira Donegan’s series In Bed With The Right, with The Clayman Institute’s Adrian Daub.
Finally, in case you missed it in October, Tortoise’s David Taylor and Xavier Greenwood on JD Vance and the New Right is required listening to make sense of the Vice President-elect.
