About this Episode

Every four years the same undecided voters in the same swing states take over the national media, but have you ever thought about what kind of psychos choose to interview those people?

With a historic election right around the corner, we’ve got politics on the brain - and we bet you do too. But honestly, at this point who wants hear another depressing conversation about the "The Polls"?!? Insted, Julia and Eva invited Alex Berg, a journalist and creative director who spent several elections trailing politicians from small New Hampshire town to small New Hampshire town, to ask her about what it’s like to be on the ground for one of these things.

Plus, an audio postcard from Julia’s sister Claire recorded on the floor of the DNC, we learn what kind of wild animals have lived in the white house (no, not the politicians…), and, is it even possible to travel ethically anymore? We sure hope so... otherwise we'd have to cancel this podcast.
