In this episode of Blue Dog Radio, Representatives Marie Gluesenkamp Perez and Jared Golden sit down for a candid conversation about faith. Where it comes from, how it anchors their work, and what it means to hold belief in something larger than politics.

They talk about the traditions that shaped them, the values that still guide them, and how faith helps them stay grounded in a world that too often rewards cynicism over service. From humility and forgiveness to the idea of grace in Washington, this is a reflection on how belief can help all of us find steadiness, purpose, and compassion in the work of building a better country.

Faith and the Common Good. A reminder that conviction and curiosity can still coexist in American politics.

In Episode 2 of Blue Dog Radio, Marie Gluesenkamp Perez and Jared Golden go Back to the Land — a conversation inspired by the writings of Wendell Berry. They explore the difference between knowledge and wisdom, the value of generational work, and how staying rooted in home and community shapes their approach to public service.

Welcome to Blue Dog Radio, where we cut through the noise and talk about what really matters to Americans in every corner of this country.

This show is about common sense, community, and making politics work the way it's supposed to, for real people in real places.

Episode One – “What It Really Means To Represent Home” – is the first of a three-part conversation between two of the youngest Blue Dog leaders in Congress: Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, an auto repair and machine shop owner from Washington’s Timber Country, and Jared Golden, a Marine Corps veteran from the Great State of Maine.

Together they explore the connections they each have with the communities they represent and lay the foundation for what it truly means to serve all Americans.
