Beyond Politics, a Crossover with Host Matt Robison: Understanding the Intersection of Politics, Psychology, and Economics
Podcast: Talkin‘ Politics & Religion Without Killin‘ Each OtherPublished On: Thu Feb 08 2024
Description: Did we really just ask whether voters are like "hungy baby, tired baby or poopy diaper baby?" Did we really say folks can find one of these fellas by looking for the horse's patoot? Oh yes. Yes, we did. (This is actually part 1 of a 2 part fun, informative, thought-provocative crossover episode. No, really.) In this conversation, we engage in a detailed discussion with writer, podcast host, and political analyst, Matt Robison. We delve into the intricacies of the political landscape, the role of media narratives, and the psychology and economics driving American politics. Highlighting the disconnect between what the public perceives and what the hard political and economic data shows, we conclude that voters often rely on subtle signals and cues to form their political opinions. We also discuss Biden's approval numbers and their impact on his presidency. 06:04 The Importance of Civil Conversations in Politics 06:17 The Current State of the Republican Party 08:44 The Influence of Newt Gingrich on American Politics 17:57 Matt's Journey into Politics 21:59 Collaboration on a Sitcom Idea 22:13 Discussion on a Newsweek Piece 24:40 Critical Thinking in News Consumption 25:44 Election Analysis and Voter Behavior 29:01 The Impact of Media on Public Opinion 37:00 The Complexity of Voter Sentiment 43:01 Wrapping Up and Planning for Part Two Be sure to check out the companion conversation Matt and Corey have over on Beyond Politics: beyondpoliticspodcast.com It would mean so much if you could leave us a review on Apple Podcasts: https://bit.ly/TPandRPod Talkin' Politics & Religion Without Killin' Each Other is part of The Democracy Group, a network of podcasts that examines what’s broken in our democracy and how we can work together to fix it.
