The People’s Cabinet is a bold, solutions-focused podcast hosted by former White House senior aide Dan Koh.
Each week, Koh talks with the leaders shaping America’s future — from governors and senators to economists and organizers — about how we move past the chaos and build something better.
Guests like Governor JB Pritzker, Senator Tammy Duckworth, Senator Chris Coons, and Larry Summers join to tackle the biggest challenges of our time: economic inequality, healthcare, education, reproductive rights, foreign policy, democracy reform, climate action, and how we win again.
Whether you’re disillusioned by Trump-era politics or frustrated by the inaction of Democrats, this show is for those ready to break the mold and get things done.
