In this episode, Carri and Brad take a hard look at the crumbling unity within the Democratic Party. They delve into the fractures caused by policy disagreements, single-issue battles, and internal power struggles. From Corey Booker not answering direct questions to the Zohran Mamdani’s insurgent rise in New York politics and lack of Democratic leaders endorsing him. They unpack why voters, across ideologies and regions, are fed up with leadership that talks more than it delivers, and how this discontent threatens both policy progress and electoral success. From missed opportunities to unify, to what it will take for Democrats to regain trust and enthusiasm before 2026, they peel back the curtain on a party at a crossroads.
And because the culture never sleeps, they get into the latest media partnership—Netflix partnering with Spotify to stream video podcasts staring in 2026. This marks a new era for podcasting and streaming services working to tap into their advertising power.
