We all survived Politifest. Mostly.

View all the debates and discussions from Politifest 2024 here.

On this week’s podcast, hosts Scott Lewis, Andrea Lopez-Villafaña and Jakob McWhinney recapped some of the most significant sessions at our yearly public affairs extravaganza. TJ River pollution lowdown? Check. Proposition 47 reform? You betcha. New San Diego sales tax? Absolutely.

Plus, we got into some journalistic ethics faux pas. Is it that hard to credit someone’s hard work? For some, the answer seems to be “yes.”

Finally, we chatted about why some candidates start campaign committees for offices they may never run for. Spoiler Alert: It’s all about the benjamins.
