For anyone who wants to learn more about politics in Virginia and its governance – this is a fabulous podcast

Changing my review back to 5 stars. Keep Ryer on the show!

I value this podcast for its ability to connect me with information I wouldn’t have otherwise. But too often it’s leads detract too much from that conversation. Information is the value add, not milquetoast moderate takes or lamentations about media access.

Informative once you get past the obvious partisanship of the hosts. The show would benefit from bringing on an R-leaning cohost, but that probably isn’t feasible with the current sponsors and listeners.

Mostly comes from a Democrat Progressive Marxist NOVA perspective.

Having recently moved to Virginia, this podcast has helped me get up to speed on politics here. Lots of interesting guests, a great host, and I always look forward to it every week.

The current hosts are much more interesting during discussions than the previous year. I’ll be listening to this podcast more regularly now.

Hi how about a few episodes that address the issues faced by families with disabilities or caregivers of children with disabilities. There are battles with DMAS and DBDHS. Also with the judicial system. There are issues for people with mental health illnesses in both systems. Thanks for considering

This is the best podcast to keep up with what’s going on in Virginia, bar none. I highly recommend it. If you live in Virginia, this is for you. If you do not live in Virginia, it is also for you. Keep up the good work!

When I moved to Virginia, 10 years ago, it was like I had to learn a new language, the politics here are wild! I Pod, Virginia, made it digestible and enjoyable. I also love how many members of the general assembly they have on their podcast for interviews!

Love listening to this podcast and keeping up with what’s going on with Virginia politics! Highly recommend

I’m a criminal defense and personal injury attorney in NOVA. I also served as a commissioner on Virginia’s first Redistricting Commission. Keeping up with issues affecting our General Assembly, laws and community is vital to my work. And Pod Virginia provides a great resource to me and fellow listeners. If you want to learn more about Virginia, our laws and process, personalities involved, and just some good old fashion tea, make sure to listen and follow! James Abrenio

Listen to this podcast if you want to keep up with what’s going on with Virginia politics. Their weekly trivia questions will also help you to learn tidbits you didn’t know before too!

If you’re interested in what’s happening in Virginia I can’t recommend this podcast enough. Thomas and Michael perfectly summarizes Virginia political affairs each episode. This has been one of my best sources as an activist within my community. Can’t wait for the next episode!

Pod Virginia gives clear insight into a severely underreported topic. Michal and Thomas do a great job at keeping what can be a boring topic light and informative. Keep up the good work!

Great podcast! Super digestible and informative

Listening to these guys since they started. They are very entertaining and informative about Virginia politics. Give them a listen!

Although I live in another state, this podcast is my favorite politics podcast (which says a lot!). I got hooked during one of the many “nail-bitey” races in VA that I wanted My Party to win; I then became a regular listener. The topics, tone and guests really interest me. I guess VA politics are my trivia category now?

Pod Virginia is the best. If you want to know how Virginia politics works, this is the podcast for you.

I recently started listening to Pod Virginia. It's a great way to get insights into Virginia politics. For those that care, that's tougher than ever since too many news organizations are laying off statehouse reporters. Pod Virginia fills in the gaps, digs deep into the important and quirky stories that can make politics both interesting and fun. It's intelligent without being dull. I give it a short time before it becomes essential listening for everyone as we move towards the midterms, Virginia's own off, off year elections, and the 2024 presidential battle.

This truly is my favorite podcast. Michael Pope and Thomas Bauman are an iconic duo and they both bring sense to the world of Virginia politics. Listening to this podcast is a necessity for any Virginia political operative or even just anyone seeking to be an informed citizen.

This podcast is a perfect length with great insights. the bonus to it all is the humor with the editorial cartoon-esque spots by Steve. That is my highlight to the podcast.

This podcast is a great way for me to go deep into Virginia Politics. Two very knowledgeable and easy-to-listen-to hosts bring on the important players. During the legislative session it's a great way to keep up to date and discover new threads

My political views do not align with the Pod Virginia folks, so I listened to a few podcasts for insight into the other side of issues, hoping for some serious policy discussion in addition to the latest news/gossip. Well, that was certainly a disappointment. Guys, you can’t keep parroting the “VA schools don’t teach CRT so this is not a really an issue” line and expect to be taken seriously. And Chaz reciting the Constitution to argue for local control of public schools hilariously ignores all that Gov Northam did to override local control of public and private schools re:masking. I’m going to have to look elsewhere for policy discussion instead of hackery.

I’ve been listening to the podcast since it started over a year ago. They tackle important topics concerning Virginia and ask great questions. I’m always waiting for the next episode to drop! They provided some great insight about the elections in 2021 with smart guests. I encourage everyone to check it out.

This is the best podcast out there for all things Virginia politics

Excellent podcast providing invaluable insight into a wide range of political issues in the Commonwealth.

Truly an excellent podcast focused on Virginia Politics, especially with 2021 coming up. Highly recommend!

This show is well-researched and consistently has insightful interviews. Being so close to DC, state and local politics often get short shrift in NoVA. This podcast fills an important gap and does it well.

Deeply researched, smart voices and sounds great.

If you were looking for the latest in Virginia politics and what’s happening on the ground, look no further than Transition VA! With bold discussions, fascinating figures of the Commonwealth, and hot takes, this is the podcast to listen to to keep your ear to the ground.

An informed populace is critical for democracy to succeed. This show is a great resource to help Virginians understand issues and events that affect their everyday lives - at a deeper level than the news headlines.

If you’re passionate about Virginia politics, this is the podcast for you! A balanced analysis with experienced guests in a changing political landscape.

This is a consistently incisive and intelligent discussion about Virginia politics. It helps me stay current on state and federal VA politics with its in depth interviews with elected officials and experts on a wide range of relevant issues.

Smart. Funny. Relevant. The Transition VA podcast is my go-to podcast about what’s going on in Virginia politics and policymaking. The guests are experts who take the issues seriously but (rarely) themselves too seriously. It’s a fresh look into “the room where it happens” from insiders who know what they’re talking about. I often listen to episodes over again to catch new points and refresh my knowledge. Whether commuting to the office or out on a long run, Transition VA provides sharp, fun, stimulating perspectives on politics and policymaking in Virginia.

One of my favorite Virginia politics podcasts - a must for understanding everything behind the scenes and changes in 2020.

Incredibly interesting, insightful, and fun podcast detailing everything you need to know about VA state politics. Michael and Thomas have great report and bring in fantastic guests who, to reference Hamilton, have been or are in the room where it happens. Listen to this if you are at all interested in Virginia politics, whether you need a primer or an deep dive in the current events as Virginia it transitions from divided government to becoming the first souther progressive bastion. This podcast is especially vital as the gubernatorial and other state-level races become the most prominent elections in the country following this November’s election.

Great podcast with in-depth discussions about Virginia politics with relevant guests.

This is without a doubt the best podcast on Virginia politics. Host Thomas Bowman is an incredibly articulate young man, and sounds like he is really handsome too.
