Slate Political Gabfest – 20th Anniversary Live Taping

Slate’s “Political Gabfest” podcast is turning 20, and they’re taking the party on the road to celebrate! 

 Twenty years of sharp debate, insider analysis, and conversations that make politics actually interesting. Stephen Colbert once called the show “a conversation among four smart friends, where YOU are the fourth.” And for two decades, that’s exactly what it’s been—your weekly guide through the political chaos. Now it’s time to celebrate with the hosts who’ve been making sense of the madness since 2005. 

Emily Bazelon of The New York Times Magazine, John Dickerson of CBS News, and David Plotz of City Cast (along with a special guest) bring their signature wit, wisdom, and cocktail chatter to Sixth & I, where it all began with their first-ever live show in 2009. Twenty years. One unforgettable night. Be there! 

VIP Experience: Get gabbing with the Gabfesters and join Emily, John, and David for an exclusive pre-show reception at a nearby location. We’re talking drinks, lite bites, and face time with the hosts. It’s your chance to ask questions, share hot takes, and toast to 20 years of political discourse done right. (Note: Location details will be sent closer to event date.)
