Back to EpisodesIs It Too Early for a Full-Blown Freakout?
Description
No burying obviously newsworthy stories. NO full-blown freakouts. Just Vibes. And the vibes this week:
- We learned this weekend that The Washington Post knew about nod to Stop the Steal at Justice Samuel Alito's house in January of 2021 but decided it...wasn't worth mentioning to the public.
- A number of media outlets, pundits and Dem strategists have been recently sounding the alarms - POLITICO saying Dems are in "full-blown freakout" mode over Biden's chances in '24.
- The New York Times wrote an article about the role that "tuned-out" Trump-curious voters will have on the election.
- And Dan Pfeiffer wrote in his newsletter, The Message Box, that TikTok is helping elect Donald Trump.
- Also, in a week that we could see the first criminal conviction of an American president, the New York Times published a story titled "Trump Leans Into an Outlaw Image as His Criminal Trial Concludes"
We get into all that before pulling up our group chat, playing an "it's giving" and leaving you with a good vibe. Don't forget to text us with your answer to our group chat question of the week!
CORRECTION: We were actually talking about the Columbia space shuttle disaster and erroneously referred to it as the Challenger.
New episodes of Vibes Only drop every week. If you like the show, the single biggest thing you can do is leave a rating and a review… it's free, it takes ten seconds, and it's how we get in front of more people who need a politics podcast that isn't going to make them want to move to the woods.
Vibes Only is a weekly political podcast hosted by Brian Derrick (Political Strategist and Founder of @oath.vote) and Glennis Meagher (Political and New Media Strategist and Co-founder of @generatorcollective), two post-Obama political operatives turned creators breaking down the stories of each week in politics, elections, and culture. We aim to be your break from the doom-scrolling and consultant-speak. Just the vibes (and the receipts) with new episodes every Thursday morning.
