Introducing ‘See How They Run’
We are proud to announce The Nation is adding a new weekly program to our ever-expanding roster of award-winning political programming and podcasts. See How They Run with host and Nation editor D.D. Guttenplan will be your guidebook to this year’s campaign trail—for the left, from the left, on the most important election of our lifetime. Every week, Guttenplan will be joined by The Nation’s leading correspondents and contributors, bringing listeners up to date on the latest news from the trail—the issues, the polls, the ads—and analyzing what it means for the election and the progressive movement in America. It’s the campaign cheat sheet delivered in a way that only The Nation can.

The first two episodes, out now, tackle the “Uncommitted” movement to protest the Biden Administration’s unconditional support for Israel’s war on Gaza and the transformation of the Republican Party into a wholly owned subsidiary of the Trump Organization. Subscribe to The Nation’s podcast channel or listen wherever you get your podcasts. ⁣
