Listen to the latest episode of The Weeds

The Weeds is Vox’s roundtable podcast about policy and politics.

by Julie Bogen

Everyone is always warning you not to get lost in the weeds. But not Ezra Klein, Sarah Kliff, Dara Lind, or Matt Yglesias. They love the weeds. That’s where the policy is!

The Weeds is a podcast for people who follow politics because they love talking about the details of policy. Twice a week, every week, the Weeds crew will bring you the latest of details of health care law, planning and zoning, economics, and more.

You can listen to the latest episode(s) here or wherever you get your podcasts. Then subscribe, rate, and share with your friends. Or, if you are already caught up and desperate for more, join our online community.
