{"store":{"baseInfo":{"podcastTitle":"Grounded with Jon Tester & Maritsa Georgiou","slug":"groundedpodcast","podcastDescription":"If you’re feeling confused or overwhelmed by the news coming out of Washington, D.C. right now, know this: you are not alone.
Each week, former U.S. Senator Jon Tester of Montana and veteran journalist Maritsa Georgiou are here to talk you through it.
Grounded is about more than just deciphering the headlines; It’s about hearing from changemakers, sharing insider insight, and leaving each episode with a roadmap forward.

Let’s stay grounded: In facts, in reason, and in community.
