  • Summary

  • When David Axelrod and Mike Murphy get together to talk politics, it’s not academic. They speak from the perspective gained through hundreds of campaigns for offices from City Hall to the White House. So if you want to know what’s really going on behind the scenes, where strategic decisions are being made, pull up a stool for Hacks on Tap. Incisive, sometimes uproarious and always entertaining, these political warhorses and their guests will give you insights you’ll only get from folks who have spent a lifetime in the political trenches of both parties.

Veterans have the edge on younger rivals...

Ultimate hacks... great energy and experience... (occasionally they labor the same points, though.) Good chemistry between Republican and Democrat presenters. One of the top 5 political podcasts in the US.
