Hey Useful Idiots,

We’re officially in Year 3 of Useful Idiots on Substack and we’re planning out new guests for the upcoming season. And we want your help.

Over the past two years, we’ve had so many incredible interviews, both with people Katie, Matt, and Aaron have connections to, but also with what we call Longshots. A Longshot guest is when you slide into David Cross’s DMs and say “u up?” It doesn’t always get a response, but when you have the journalistic and Twitteristic clout of the Useful Idiots, you get responses you didn’t think were possible.

So we’re asking our listeners who you want to hear from this year on the pod. Journalists who cover mainstream-ignored topics that we haven’t covered yet; politicians who might give a worthwhile interview; Longshot celebrities who actually have something good to say about politics; or past UI guests who you’re itching to hear again.

We’ll use your suggestions and reach out with interview requests. You never know what Longshots may already be listening to Useful Idiots.

Join Katie and Wilson at 12pm to share your ideas and discuss your favorite Useful Idiots guests that you want back on the podcast.
