John Kirby is the Coordinator for Strategic Communications at the National Security Council. Since the Hamas attack on Israel, John has been the face of this administration’s public-facing response and he has been doing a phenomenal job explaining how President Biden is responding. Prior to his current position, John served in the US Navy as a rear admiral, was the Spokesperson for the State Department under President Obama from 2015 to 2017, and was the Press Secretary at the Pentagon for the first year and a half of the Biden administration.

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.

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.
