Firewall with Bradley Tusk

It's Way Too Early for the Horse Race


Listen Later

We all need to stop worrying about who the Democrats will nominate in 2028, argues Bradley. Unless it's someone from the far Left, the main candidates are essentially interchangeable — structural conditions, not the picayune distinctions between them, will determine the outcome. Plus, Bradley and Hugo discuss what makes life worthwhile, trade basketball stories, and discuss why starting a band might be the answer to everything that ails us.

Discussed on today's episode:

Start a Band, Even if You’re Terrible, by Hugo Lindgren, The New York Times (03/22/26)

Why Sweden punches above its weight in music, by Henrik Karlsson (03/21/23)

The Web of the Game, by Roger Angell, The New Yorker (07/13/81)

This episode was taped at P&T Knitwear at 180 Orchard Street — New York City’s only free podcast recording studio.
