Research over the public record
What the shows said, laid over what happened.
Every night we transcribe a roster of political podcasts, pull out what they claim, and set it against the record: bills, rulings and ballots, as kept by the people who track them. Pick an issue to see where a story entered, and how it changed on the way.

Rolling 365 days · refreshed nightlyEach issue gathers our shows’ claims and the public actions they name, over the last 365 days.
Drag the window to any stretch. Collapsed rows keep their summary, so nothing hides when you fold it away.
Pick a line of the record and see which show changed it first, and how far that change travelled.
What “our roster” means. We monitor a fixed list of political podcasts. Every count here is a floor for that list, never a measure of the wider ecosystem. Weeks we have not ingested yet are hatched: absence there is not a result.
How claims are coded. A claim’s issue and position are coded from its verbatim quote, blind to our fact-check verdict. Changes to the record are coded by two independent coders; a change counts only when both found it.
Whose record. Every action links to its aggregator of record: the legislature, the court docket, the agency, or the tracker researchers already cite. We overlay; we do not replace them.
