Politix will be a weekly podcast about the 2024 election hosted by Brian Beutler of Off Message and Matthew Yglesias of Slow Boring. We'll bring you good-faith disagreement, points of consensus, brilliant guests, and do our best to maintain a consistent focus on what's really at stake in November. Subscribe for new episodes each Wednesday.
Matt, it’s obvious that your kitchen is never used to cook food, but what's in the Whole Foods bag? Also, you both need to shave before you record these things.
Also please don’t take offense that I love Matt’s verbal tics. It sounds like a backhanded compliment, but it’s really not. It keeps me engaged and listening. Whereas Ezra Kleins voice is so level and soothing, that I doze off.
Basically, all I’m saying that while I love Ezra too, I love you more for not being an ASMR voice.
Lastly, where are the instructions to listen on the Podcast apps? In my case, the Apple one.
Does anyone know how to get the politix premium content on a podcast player. Love the dialogues, and more than happy to be a paid subscriber, but wish there was a way to download content onto some standard podcast player. Any way to get a link or code or whatever to do that. A private feed link like there is/was with slow boring?
Yes! http://www.politix.fm/listen should allow you to create a private feed in most apps (Spotify is the big exception). I’ve done it in multiple apps just by clicking through, but it’s also fairly straightforward to copy/paste your private feed link into your podcast app of choice. Let me know if these options don’t work.
The Democrats, politically failing in the same way that microeconomic theories fail to reproduce real world results in economics. The minutiae of political "data" are minor vortices in the oar's wake that reveal nothing about the rower and the direction of the vessel.
Women might ultimately save 2024, despite the best efforts of the DNC establishment who proffered Joe as a "placeholder" for one term. Joe tagged with all of the baggage could have made a heroic exit, and instead may supplant Ruth Bader Ginsberg as the icon of liberal self-interest above democratic functioning.
Spare me the analysis as we spiral into the vortex. "Nice Guys Finish Last" is the mantra of the DNC, again, begging to be cast aside for a charismatic maniac, thrust into greatness by wealth inequality unrivaled in history.
The Earth literally burns, revolution looms, the masses on either side listen for the first shot to be fired, not caring who pulls the trigger.
Not on this video, I believe our producer burned them on to the actual file, but I can look into whether we can make them opt-in... Thanks for the feedback!

I’m in.
That is, in fact, a kitchen that is never used to cook food! I'm not sure why the Whole Foods tortilla chips are sitting out, though...
I have only grown more dishevled since we recorded that, but have two weeks to get myself kempt.
OMG OMG OMG! Merry Christmas a little early to me! 🎄🎄🎄
I’m in!
I’m in!

Totally agreed. Matt sounds like a human.
it's a trick!
i like his odd voice too. Like when something just occurs to him and he really squawks to emphasize. I find it really cute
If I already subscribe to both Off Message AND Slow Boring, do I get a discount? Just curious.

Is there a way to turn off the captions?
