Hosted by two former state senators who’ve seen it all, from backroom deals to historic reforms, The Sacralegis Podcast explores the forces that shape politics in the Golden State– with sharp analysis, expert guests, and candid conversations, all without taking it all too seriously.

Whether you’re a policymaker, a political junkie, or just trying to make sense of Sacramento, The Sacralegis Podcast has got you covered—no baloney, just straight talk from those who’ve been in the rooms where it all happens.
