That Trippi Show

by Joe Trippi

If you're looking for someone who actually knows how presidential and national politics works to explain what's going on in 30 minutes or less, this is the show for you. Joe Trippi is a longtime Democratic campaign manager who ran the progressive Howard Dean presidential campaign in 2004 and the historic Doug Jones Senate campaign to defeat Roy Moore in 2017. He's seen it all and isn't bogged down by the viral tweets or hot takes du jour. He's looking past the headlines to answer the questions that matter: How do Democrats win key races moving forward? How do we convince voters to make Republicans pay for January 6th and its aftermath? What are we headed for in November? Don't just listen to the talking heads. Learn from an expert. Subscribe now to That Trippi Show. New episodes every Friday (at least!).

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

This was a great episode filled with information we need at this time. I have shared it with all of my democracy groups here in SC. This is our time to take back what the GOP wants to take away. Thank you so much for all you do

Lulu3305 · Apr 2025

As one of those people who did work hard for 2024 elections I really appreciate your 11/9 analysis. We don’t need finger pointing at how “liberal vs centrist” Harris campaign was. That’s useless. I appreciate you recognizing the inherent sexism in our society. I appreciate you recognizing the mistake of not answering the trans attacks (and I had/have a great idea for that lost opportunity). I appreciate you recognizing the futility of old time politics versus the force of the lies and propaganda hate machine that must be answered! Thank you. 🙏🏽

DrDK2 · Nov 2024

I’ve been listening to Joe and Alex for a long time now and never miss an episode. They’re smart, humorous, and explain the election landscape in language anyone can understand. Their guests are the most knowledgeable out there. I trust them as they’ve been in the election trenches and really know how it works. For understanding what’s happening in our elections, this is the only podcast you’ll ever need.

Susan from MD · Nov 2024

Love the podcast but have significant issues hearing Alex on some episodes. The volume drops when he speaks and adjusting volume higher, blows the roof off when Joe comes back on... I tested on different headphones/speakers and same issue....
