This week we’re at O'Shaughnessy's for a hot take on the longest nine days in politics ever. Biden's out, Harris is in, and we're thrilled! Fundraising records, rapid endorsements, and VP speculation—oh my! Also, did Steve fail the DNC background check? Get pumped, politic pals!

This week we’re at one of our favorites, Half Acre, to enjoy some beers and cover the latest in the Trump indictments. Hint: it isn’t going well for Trump if the law matters.

This week we head back to Eris to have some delicious ciders, delivered automatically through the power of technology. We talk all about the indictments of course. No, not those indictments, the other ones. NO, THE OTHER ONES! Tune in, won’t you?

This week we risk the apocalypse by going outside the borders of Chicago to visit Temperance brewing located in Evanston. Of course we’ve got lots of indictment related news to talk about, but if you tune in this week, you can find out what the cutest animal on the planet is!

Naturally the indictments came out AFTER we recored this episode, but we were able to get together and ensure that we talked about them. We’ll start with a regular full episode, recorded at Maplewood brewery, and then at the end we have some bonus content dedicated to the indictments. Enjoy!

This week we’re back at Old Irving Brewing for some beers, some politics, and of course, their delicious soft pretzels. It’s been a while so we spend some time catching up on the latest goings on with Nobel Prize winner, George Santos, and of course that sexual assaulter, Trump.

It was an unusually profane episode this week, but well worth listening in. We look back at the Chicago Election, and warm up the popcorn for Trump’s trials to come.

Imagine for a moment that you could travel back a few days in time to see what the world was like before the Chicago municipal election. What would that world look like? How did we muddle through life without Trump indictments? Well, tune into this week’s timely podcast to look back at those halc

It took us a little while to get together, but this week we wanted to discuss the results of the municipal election. Then with the latest goings on at SVB, we couldn’t help but turn into an economics podcast for a bit. In spite of that, we think it’s worth listening to so join us!

26/02/2023

Seems we've been having some issues with the crosspost to Facebook from Squarespace. I assure you, we still record podcasts. Current evidence can be found here:

We’re in the last days before the municipal election, so we try very hard to focus on what’s going on here in Chicago. Don’t worry though, we cover all of the train related activity that drives the news cycle!

https://www.draughtpolitics.com/podcast/episode-83-farewell-empirical

It’s a sad in the world of Chicago breweries as Empirical has closed down. We found out about it at the last minute and wanted to make sure to squeeze in a quick episode to send it off properly. Like I said, it’s a quick one, but we’ll be back soon with a full pre-election podcast to prepare y...

https://www.draughtpolitics.com/podcast/episode-80-snooki-time

This week we’re at the Old Irving Brewery, ironically located on Montrose, to tell you about the latest in politics. This week, Snooki brings a little Jersey Shore to the Pennsylvania Senate race, and witnesses are tampered with. So open a private keg, and join us, won’t you?
