SWAMP STORIES is the first podcast that dives into political reform with a bipartisan lens. It follows the host — millennial Republican and former candidate for office, Weston Wamp — as he shines a light on the swampiest practices in Washington that repulse Republicans and Democrats alike: slush funds in Congress, dark money in elections, gerrymandered districts, foreign interference in our elections, dialing for dollars, and more. He interviews conservative and liberal elected leaders, activists, and reform experts who find agreement about how to fix America’s broken political system.
