Blue Dog Radio
Welcome to Blue Dog Radio, a podcast that cuts through the noise and gets to the heart of what really matters. Across the country, one honest conversation at a time.
This show is a traveling exploration of American values. Recorded in D.C. living rooms, front porches, union halls, and small-town diners with the people who still believe in doing what’s right, even when it’s hard.
We sit down with current members of Congress, emerging candidates, and everyday Americans who carry the burden of common sense in an age of dysfunction.
At its core, Blue Dog Radio is about community, character, and commitment.
We are rooted in the belief that politics should serve real people in real places, and that truth, decency, and good faith still matter.
Whether you're from the Gulf Coast, the Pacific Northwest, the Midwest plains or the Maine woods, this is a show about finding common ground and reminding ourselves what we’re trying to build, together.

Episode 3: Faith and the Common Good
In this episode of Blue Dog Radio, Representatives Marie Gluesenkamp Perez and Jared Golden sit down for a candid conversation about faith. Where it comes from, how it anchors their work, and what it means to hold belief in something larger than politics.
They talk about the traditions that shaped them, the values that still guide them, and how faith helps them stay grounded in a world that too often rewards cynicism over service. From humility and forgiveness to the idea of grace in Washington, this is a reflection on how belief can help all of us find steadiness, purpose, and compassion in the work of building a better country.
Faith and the Common Good. A reminder that conviction and curiosity can still coexist in American politics.
