Politics & Potables
Politics and Potables is bringing civil political discourse back to where it started — face to face, over a drink, the way the Founders intended. Host Jon Buchwald, former congressional candidate and strategic advisor, invites guests to challenge him to a cocktail of their choosing, and then challenges them to an honest conversation about politics, policy, and what we actually have in common.
