168: John Della Volpe & Simon Rosenberg

Author: Politicon November 23, 2022 Duration: 53:26
Hosts Jill Wine-Banks and Victor Shi are joined by Simon Rosenberg and John Della Volpe to talk about the midterm elections and we should all take away from the midterms. What is the future of the Gen Z vote? How off were polls and how should we read polls from now on? What should both parties learn from the midterms? We get into all of this with two experts. 

Simon Rosenberg is the president of NDN and New Policy Institute and is a veteran of two presidential campaigns and was someone who predicted that there would be no red wave in this election, which proved accurate. John Della Volpe is the director of polling at Harvard and author of Fight: How Gen Z is Channeling their Fear and Passion to Save America. He predicted there would be a Gen Z wave and he was right.

How does a generation, often defined by memes and digital natives, actually engage with the political world shaping its future? iGen Politics, from Politicon, moves beyond the headlines and hot takes to explore the lived experience of politics for the newest wave of voters and activists. This isn't a lecture series; it's a documentary-style journey into the movements, cultural shifts, and personal stories that define political life right now. Each episode digs into a single topic, blending narrative storytelling with insightful interviews, to understand how policy, government, and societal change are filtered through a distinctly contemporary lens. You'll hear from organizers, artists, researchers, and everyday people who are navigating this landscape, offering a ground-level view that statistics often miss. The iGen Politics podcast provides context for the noise, examining the intersection of news, culture, and power without assuming prior expertise. It’s for anyone curious about why things are the way they are and where they might be headed, listening not for partisan debate but for a deeper, more nuanced understanding. Tune in for a thoughtful, human-centered exploration of the forces at play in our collective life, one story at a time.
