Gavin Newsom's new podcast has stirred political conversations, with mixed reactions from supporters and opponents. As he prepares for a possible presidential run in 2028, Newsom seeks to broaden his appeal beyond his liberal base in California. However, political experts caution that podcasts often end up reaching only those already interested in politics, likening the medium to partisan networks. This skepticism is compounded by his name recognition not necessarily translating to engagement, and financial disclosures reveal he does not profit from his podcast efforts.
"I'm not sure podcasts are the best way to reach people who are less interested in politics. With podcasts you're going to be, in general, preaching to the converted."
"He has good name recognition, but do I want to spend my time and maybe, in the future, money listening to this guy? Those are two different questions."
