The Political Gabfest is turning 20, and we’re celebrating with a nationwide tour!
The 20th Anniversary Tour is coming to Chicago, New York City, and Washington, D.C. Thanks to everyone who came to our Chicago show, featuring Rahm Emanuel, which you can listen to here. And to everyone who came by our New York Conundrums show featuring very special guest, and fan of the show, Stephen Colbert, which will be available soon!
And for those planning ahead, our Washington D.C. show will be on February 11th. Those tickets will be on sale in early December.
Each stop will feature everything you love about the Gabfest: sharp analysis, spirited debate, and the kind of conversation that leaves you thinking differently about the news. Plus, VIP packages are available at each city with exclusive pre-show receptions with Emily, John, and David. Come celebrate two decades of political discourse done right, meet fellow Gabfest fans, and be part of a night that honors the podcast that’s been with you through all the ups and downs of American politics.

For twenty years, the Political Gabfest has been the podcast that makes politics make sense. Through five presidencies, countless Supreme Court decisions, and more political plot twists than anyone could have predicted in 2005, Emily Bazelon, John Dickerson, and David Plotz have been your weekly guides through it all. Now they’re hitting the road to celebrate this milestone with the listeners who’ve made the Gabfest what it is today.
Stephen Colbert once described the show as “a conversation among four smart friends, where YOU are the fourth.” That’s exactly what these live shows will be: your chance to step into that cocktail chatter, hear the analysis and debate you love in person, and help us toast to twenty years of making politics interesting, accessible, and dare we say it…fun. Join us in a city near you!
