Unwoke Podcast Episode Explores Speculation on the 2028 Republican Field
The latest Unwoke All-Access episode drifts from its usual prep to a spontaneous discussion about possible Republican contenders for the 2028 presidential election.
In this installment of the Unwoke All-Access series, the hosts acknowledge that their usual pre-show planning quickly unraveled, prompting an on-the-fly format. Abandoning the original agenda, they launch into a free-form chat about potential Republican candidates for the 2028 presidential race, a topic the narrator admits he has rarely enjoyed contemplating. He reflects on attending a GOP forum in New Hampshire back in March 2011 and contrasts modern, near-continuous election coverage with the slower pace of past campaigns, such as those of Reagan and Bush.
Co-host Kevin provides a more measured perspective, adding depth to the speculation. The episode concludes with a whimsical nod to their mascot, Brokeback the Magic Mescaline Pony, and an invitation to subscribe to their daily Morning Briefing with a discount code.
