About Ground Game

As a Muslim, Indian American daughter of immigrants, Nabeela Syed might not be the first person you'd expect to run for office in a Republican-held district in suburban Illinois. But at just 23 years old, she's shaking up local politics in Chicago's northwest suburbs. Ground Game follows Nabeela's life, the recent history of her district, and how it culminated in her running for office. From school board battles to debate competitions to door knocking, hear how she’s reshaping grassroots politics in her hometown. Reported, written, and produced by Lucia Barnum.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍

Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
