The Independent Voter Podcast
Reformers, legal scholars, elected officials, and advocates break down how American elections actually work, and what it takes to fix them.
Interested in joining the conversation?
We book elected officials, reform advocates, legal experts, researchers, and organizers working to change how elections function. If that’s you, we’d like to hear from you.
Guests record a 30–60 minute remote conversation. We handle production and distribution.
Reach Out About GuestingThree beats. One mission.
Who gets to vote, and when it matters most
Primary elections decide most races before the general. This show tracks the legal battles, ballot measures, and state-by-state campaigns to open them up.
The rules that keep 40% of voters on the sidelines
Closed systems, registration barriers, and partisan gatekeeping. We cover the structural problems that independent and unaffiliated voters face every cycle.
Legislators, lawyers, and organizers doing the work
Not pundits. The podcast features the people writing legislation, arguing cases, and running campaigns to change how elections function.
