About The Strategists
From the publisher's feed
Professional unprofessional strategists Stephen Carter, Zain Velji, and Shannon Phillips break down the news of the day. Not just what’s happening, but how it’s being played.
Policy is…
one thing. Politics is another.
The show dissects the strategy behind the headlines: what governments are doing, why it matters, and the political incentives driving every move. They don't tell you what to think. They make you harder to spin.
Originally hosted with Corey Hogan (now inside the machine), The Strategists now anchors a growing podcast network:
• The Strategists — weekly strategy, sharp takes, and questionable professionalism
• Ministry of Podcasts — Corey Hogan reports from inside Parliament
• Balance of Power — Annalise Klingbeil, Shannon Phillips, and Leah Ward bring a distinct lens to power and politics
Described as “shockingly insightful” and “sports talk radio for politics.”
