Can a partisan podcast save the Democratic Party?

The New Yorker

The Wilderness offers a heartfelt and illuminating take on what happens when ordinary citizens lose faith and parties fall, and how to make the the long journey back from the cold.

Financial Times

It’s the 21st century version of a great book or movie.

Andy Slavitt

Start listening and you won’t stop. It’s the opposite of a quick Twitter take on fixing our problems. Deep, honest, multi-dimensional.
