Ballot with Patrick Gutfield - Where Politics Meets Pop Culture

Comedy EN ↓ 503 episodes

In the spirit of The Daily Show, Last Week Tonight, and yes, even those Pod Save America guys, we’re cutting through the chaos of Trump’s second term and the Democrats’ sudden hot streak. From Zohran Mamdani shocking New York to Gavin Newsom redrawing democracy with a kombucha in hand, we’ll break down the biggest stories with sharp humor, a little parody, and zero political homework required. Come for the sass, stay for the sanity—and blame the A.I. for the jokes that don’t land.
