  • Summary

  • When David Axelrod and Mike Murphy get together to talk politics, it’s not academic. They speak from the perspective gained through hundreds of campaigns for offices from City Hall to the White House. So if you want to know what’s really going on behind the scenes, where strategic decisions are being made, pull up a stool for Hacks on Tap. Incisive, sometimes uproarious and always entertaining, these political warhorses and their guests will give you insights you’ll only get from folks who have spent a lifetime in the political trenches of both parties.

    Maximum Don (with Alex Isenstadt & Doug Heye)
    Apr 22 2025
    This week, Murphy is still flying solo—but he's not alone. He's joined by veteran GOP strategist and communications pro Doug Heye, along with Axios senior political reporter Alex Isenstadt, author of the new book Revenge: The Inside Story of Trump's Return to Power. The Hacks dig into Senator Chris Van Hollen’s visit with Kilmar Ábrego García, dissect the evolution from Trump 1.0 to Trump 2.0, and unpack all the political mayhem in between.

    Veritas v. Vendetta (with Jonathan Martin and Robert Costa)
    Apr 15 2025
    This week, Mike Murphy is flying solo — but fear not, he’s joined by two heavyweight Hacks: Jonathan Martin, veteran political reporter and senior political columnist for Politico, and Robert Costa, CBS News chief election and campaign correspondent and co-author of Peril with Bob Woodward. Together, they dive into POTUS v. SCOTUS, wrongful deportations, China’s tariff triumphs, Harvard fighting back, deficits, stagflation, strongman stuff, and — naturally — a slew of other uplifting developments in American democracy.

    Polls, Trolls, and Dinner Rolls (with John Anzalone)
    Apr 8 2025
    This week, Axe and Murphy are back together -- proof that political gravity always pulls the Hacks back into orbit. They’re joined by legendary Democratic pollster and savant, John Anzalone. The Hacks dive right into Anzalone’s polling, discussing Trump’s tariffs, the stock market vs. the supermarket, the Democratic need to lay out an economic agenda, angels and demons, melting ice sculptures, and so much more!

Veterans have the edge on younger rivals...

Ultimate hacks... great energy and experience... (occasionally they labor the same points, though.) Good chemistry between Republican and Democrat presenters. One of the top 5 political podcasts in the US.
