Heilemann is a great interviewer, and while he is best known for his coverage of politics, his wide and deep interest in music and culture ensures this podcast has something for everyone. Always interesting, informative, and entertaining!

You cannot beat the combination of John and Nicole. Great insight into politics and political campaigns. I could listen to them all day!

Description

Join Puck’s chief political columnist, MSNBC/NBC News national affairs analyst, and best-selling author John Heilemann as he roams the corridors of power and influence in America on this twice-weekly interview show, taking you behind the scenes and beyond the headlines with the people who shape and shift our culture: icons and up-and-comers, incumbents and insurgents, moguls and machers in the overlapping worlds of politics, entertainment, tech, business, sports, media, and beyond. The conversations are rich and revealing, unrehearsed and unexpected … and reliably impolitic. A Puck-Audacy joint, new episodes drop every Wednesday and Friday.
