But Also Doesn\u2019t Want Them to Leave&#8221;<\/i><\/h6>\n<p>\n&#8220;Every four years, millions of people watch the Presidential debates to get a sense of the people hoping to lead the United States. They listen to the candidates\u2019 answers and try to work out who they align most with, who shares their world-view. But there\u2019s always so much more to learn about these people than the answers they debate over.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>With a rather sardonic grin, it&#8217;s pretty evident that the Presidential debates often turn into a soiree of well-planned, articulated responses. And yes, the public ends up trying to decipher who they could align with, and who shares their worldview from a series of exchanged blows. Delectably ironic, isn&#8217;t it? Given the fact that these are merely orchestrated answers that might not reveal much about the potential candidate.<\/p>\n<p>Now, speaking of revelations, welcome to &#8216;The Big Interview&#8217;. No, this isn&#8217;t another glorified banner, it&#8217;s indeed the name of a renowned podcast. Podcasting, you see, has become the modern society&#8217;s elixir of truth, unmasking those behind political facades. Add to that, there&#8217;s no escaping an articulate host who&#8217;s out on a mission to expose every intricately woven persona. <\/p>\n<p>One such man under the lens of scrutiny was Tom Steyer. For those unfamiliar with his name, he happens to be a former hedge fund manager who staked his claim in the tumultuous world of politics. Now, that&#8217;s a resume that&#8217;s bound to incite curiosity, isn&#8217;t it?<\/p>\n<p>Steyer discussed his Presidential aspirations candidly, albeit with the undertone of a seasoned salesman that left listeners wondering whether they were influential enough to be invited to his Christmas party. He touched upon the necessity of declaring climate change a state emergency, swearing that once he&#8217;s in office, it&#8217;d be the first card off his deck. The resolve was commendable. But this leaves the audience musing whether to count on his words or wait for the actual play.<\/p>\n<p>In true politician style, he promised a government of &#8216;by, for and to&#8217; the people and not corporations. It was as though he was dangling a giant spool of daydreams in front of voters, a spool so perfect, that it almost seems too good to be true. <\/p>\n<p>A political aspirant from Wall Street preaching about climate change and the power of people over corporations? The irony is so thick, it could be cut with a knife. But hey, isn&#8217;t sarcasm the spice of politics?<\/p>\n<p>Conclusively, it&#8217;s safe to say that Tom Steyer, like any other candidate, provided an enchanting tableau of promises and plans. Whether it&#8217;s pandering to the masses or pulling strings from behind a green screen, only time will tell. Until then, sit back, enjoy some popcorn, and revel in the sweet symphony of politics.<br \/>\n<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/the-big-interview-podcast-tom-steyer\/\">Read the original article here: https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/the-big-interview-podcast-tom-steyer\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Presidential debates: a festival of curated responses.
