Independent Voter Podcast

The Independent Voter Podcast covers political and policy issues that go outside the traditional lens of partisan discourse. At IVP, we believe being independent is a mindset, not an ideology. It does not mean that you lack an ideology. It does not mean that you don’t have libertarian, socialistic, conservative, or liberal tendencies. Being independent means that you don’t believe so stridently in a perfect philosophy that everyone who doesn’t agree with you must be an idiot … or evil … or brainwashed. Listen in.
