🇺🇸 Meet the 2020 Democratic Candidates

🎧 Podcasts For President!

The 2020 US Presidential Election is just around the corner, but first we get primary season! At the time of the first debate, twenty Democrats had launched their presidential campaigns. Unfortunately, with so many candidates in the running for the party’s nomination, it’s hard to really get a sense of what each candidate stands for. Complex ideas are often cut down to sound bites and hurled across a busy debate stage.

Luckily, podcasts are here to save us all! From highly-specific news reports to longform, in-depth interviews, podcasts allow listeners to hear the full platforms behind the soundbytes. That’s why we’ve brought together every podcast featuring a Democratic presidential candidate. With over 680 hours of audio, you’ll be well-equipped to perform your civic duty.

So, now we get to have some fun with all of these stats and ask the question: among those 680+ hours of airtime, who is leading the field and connecting with the ever important podcast vote? Which candidate is out there hustling to shake hands and kiss microphones? In our humble opinion, the Road to the White House is a lot more fun when you can listen to a podcast while we’re on our way.
