The Political Gabfest Turns 20, and You're Invited to the Party

"For twenty years, the Political Gabfest has been the podcast that makes politics make sense. Through five presidencies, countless Supreme Court decisions, and more political plot twists than anyone could have predicted in 2005, Emily Bazelon, John Dickerson, and David Plotz have been your weekly guides through it all. Now they're hitting the road to celebrate this milestone with the listeners who've made the Gabfest what it is today."

"Each stop will feature everything you love about the Gabfest: sharp analysis, spirited debate, and the kind of conversation that leaves you thinking differently about the news. Plus, VIP packages are available at each city with exclusive pre-show receptions with Emily, John, and David. Come celebrate two decades of political discourse done right, meet fellow Gabfest fans, and be part of a night that honors the podcast that's been with you through all the ups and downs of American politics."

"Stephen Colbert once described the show as "a conversation among four smart friends, where YOU are the fourth." That's exactly what these live shows will be: your chance to step into that cocktail chatter, hear the analysis and debate you love in person, and help us toast to twenty years of making politics interesting, accessible, and dare we say it...fun. Join us in a city near you!"
