Third Way Launches 'What It Takes' with Sarah McCammon, a New Podcast by Unmoderated News
WASHINGTON—Third Way and the Moderate Power Project are thrilled to announce the launch of Unmoderated News and its flagship podcast, What It Takes with Sarah McCammon. The first episode featuring New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill will be released this Thursday, May 14.
What It Takes with Sarah McCammon is a new weekly podcast that examines the personal stories that shape a new generation of leaders and the political and policy battles they fight to make change.
Through intimate conversations with elected officials, political commentators, advocates, and community leaders, What It Takes unpacks the origin stories behind today's combative centrists. McCammon explores how they fight successfully in unfriendly territory, win hearts and minds, and overcome elite interests to make life better for all Americans. The show uncovers the values and experiences that shape how these leaders navigate politics in turbulent times with stories about what it takes to fight for wins and results.
“What It Takes dives deep into the backstories of these leaders, viewing their political battles through a deeply personal lens,” said Matt Bennett, Third Way’s Executive Vice President for Public Affairs. “Sarah McCammon has the curiosity, depth, and brilliance to lead these candid conversations that get to the heart of what drives the people shaping the future of our party and politics.”
The podcast is produced by Unmoderated News, a new, social-first news platform and content engine that will provide viewers with editorial videos, critical news updates, and insights that inject a breath of reality in a digital world dominated by the artificial. By amplifying a principled, energizing, and pragmatic message, our goal is to counter the extreme voices that algorithms promote. It is a central component of the Moderate Power Project’s push to build the megaphone for moderates, and aims to become the loudest, smartest, and most effective communications machine promoting the center left in America.
The trailer for What It Takes with Sarah McCammon is now live. The first episode, featuring Governor Mikie Sherrill, will be out at 6:00AM ET on Thursday, May 14, wherever you get your podcasts.
