Advertise on podcast: Politics and Brose

The Brose take a stab at handicapping the midterm elections and how expectations will inform performance. Also they briefly touch on the (former) press secretary Katie Zacharia's brief stint and what is happening in France. Enjoy!

With so much going on, Pete and Howell decided to do a grab bag and discussed 9/11 25 years on, Trump's press ban, SCOTUS mail-in ballot ruling, and the GOP midterm convention, before finishing with a little election crystal-balling. Give a listen to cheer you up while you mourn the shortening daylight hours of September!

As school and fall kick in, Pete and Howell get together to chat about primary results, Canadian tariffs, and Trump's performance on his economic promises. Enjoy!

Pete and Howell regroup after a busy July to talk the loss of Lindsey Graham (and McConnell?), as well as Covid hearings with Dr. Fauci (in 2026?!) and Iran (again!). They finish with some talk of midterms coming up in a few months. Happy Dog Days of Summer!

America just turned 250 years old, so how are we doing? Well, we discuss the apparent rise of Democratic Socialists, as well as flawed Congressional candidates and what the Founding Fathers would think of the government and America at 250 years young.

Pete and Howell have World Cup fever as they discuss what's going on: the 4th month of a 2 week war in Iran, Trump's primary retributions and potential impacts, and how Trump's DC and government vanity projects exemplify his approach to governing. Join us for the fun!

Pete and Howell talk Iran (still), another assassination attempt (again), and VRA ruling (hype?) before turning to the midterm prognostications with 6 months to go until the 2026 elections. Dive in!

Before Peter heads for spring break, the Brose get together to try and make sense of all the news swirling. They hit Birthright citizenship at SCOTUS, Pam Bondi's ouster, and how the "excursion" in Iran is being prosecuted before Howell runs out of gas for the evening. Pun intended.

Near the 10 day mark of the U.S. attacks on Iran, Pete and Howell get together to see how things are progressing and discuss what might be next and immediate impacts of the conflict. They also discuss the administration's seeming "gamification" approach to war fighting and what image that projects. Enjoy!

Pete and Howell ignore all the other craziness that's happened in the last few weeks to discuss the most recent craziness, America and Israel's attacks on Iran and the killing of its Supreme Leader and try and read the tea leaves on what would be success and what does failure look like.

Since the last emergency pod, things only seem to have gotten crazier in America and out of it. Pete and Howell give some thoughts on the happenings in Minneapolis, the recent Iranian protests and America's limited options, and finish with discussion around the wild Greenland issue and whether Trump is completely unleashed as a president.

2026 is off with a bang, literally. Pete and Howell huddle to discuss the shocking raid in Venezuela and whether it was wise and/or legal. Happy New Year to all!

What are our listeners into? Why is Trump incapable of consolation? Will Susie Wiles remain his Chief of Staff? After a brutal news weekend in America (and Sydney), these are all questions we tackle in our last episode of 2025. Enjoy!

Feast on episode 103, where Pete and Howell regroup to share their political thankfuls, discuss the shocking resignation of Marjorie Taylor Greene, and the Trump admins recent agenda struggles and if it means he's a lame duck. Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Pete and Howell get together on election night to discuss the results of state elections as they are unfolding, and then pivot to shutdown purgatory talk, the freakout over Trump's East Wing demo, and concerns over drugboat strikes in the Carribbean and beyond.
