Politicon, the Unconventional Political Convention, began as a live event, with a full weekend of panels, debates, town halls, Expos, podcasts, Q&A’s, book signings, comedy and more. Politicon brought together some of the biggest names in politics and entertainment for an unorthodox and highly entertaining weekend of political discourse. Across several stages, attendees got an up close and personal with political heavyweights, while reveling in endless humor and exhilarating conversation.
For four years, the convention was held in the Los Angeles area, then moved to Nashville in 2019.
In 2020, right before the world changed around us, Politicon started the podcast “How the Heck Are We Gonna Get Along!”, based on one of the most popular panels at the convention. Hosted by Clay Aiken, the podcast features a bi-partisan panel or single guest in discussion, to find out if our country still has a fighting chance at finding some common ground.
Later in 2020, "Politics War Room," hosted by Al Hunt and James Carville joined the Politicon podcast family. In 2021, "#SistersInLaw", "iGen Politics" and "The Mary Trump Show" were added.
