Postrider Podcasts

The 2026 midterms are finally here! The Postriders round up what you need to know, and who we think will win in the key gubernatorial, Senate, House, and other races across the country.

With only a week left to the 2026 midterms, the Postriders question how concerned Democrats should be about various hiccups: polling errors, election shenanigans, candidate quality, or anything else that could make for a surprise next Tuesday.

The Internet has turbocharged how politicians use and communicate... but a lot of it is "cringe." So, who in politics excels at utilizing modern media: on Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube? 

Trump and some of his Republican Party attended a first-of-its-kind midterm convention in Texas. What does who went and who skipped out tell us about the election ahead?

2026 has generated a cadre of primary election losers, can Lars craft a path back to relevancy for them?

Which races this cycle have Democrats fumbled? Or do people unfairly expect them to fumble? Lars and Michael analyze some high and low profile elections to find some seats that seem safer or riskier than expected.

What is the beef between commentators G. Elliot Morris and Matt Yglesias... or between Donald Trump and Giorgia Meloni? Why do these debates and differences matter?

Which Trump cabinet was best? The Postriders compare Trump's first and second cabinet, as Michael gets the chance to make a "switchback" and opt to take an old cabinet secretary in lieu of the current one.

As the midterms approach and Democrats seek to flip the Senate, Lars and Michael analyze the headline Senate races and pick which elections are being overstated or underanalyzed in the home stretch.

The Postriders play "Something, or Nothing?" to chronicle the biggest stories over the summer: Graham Platner's demise, Trump's voter fraud address, the Michigan primary results, and more. Is the fallout from these stories worth keeping an eye on or being blown totally out of proportion?
