The Middle is Back!
As America prepares for another critical national election is 2024, The Middle with Jeremy Hobson will go where most of the media doesn't: the middle. Each week — with the flare and fun of a late-night talk show, mixed with the rigor and approachability of a national public radio host (because he was) — Jeremy Hobson will take calls from Americans nationwide on some of the most important issues of the day. The aim? To elevate the voices of Americans in the political and geographic middle — the people who are so important politically when it comes to who's in power and what gets done.
