    Ep. 24 - Talking Zohran with the "Was Tun?" Podcast
    Nov 3 2025

    I was on the German podcast Was Tun? with Inken Behrmann and Valentin Ihßen talking about the Zohran campaign in the final stretch of the NYC mayor's race. It was such a great conversation I thought I'd post it here as well so you can all get your Russ fill while the getting is good. Check them out, especially if you sprechen sie Deutsch: https://linktr.ee/wastun?utm_source=linktree_profile_share

    Enjoy!
