About the Podcast

Schindler's Gist
Politics, power, and the truth nobody's telling you.
Everything is broken. Nobody in power is telling you the truth. And we might as well talk about it.
Schindler's Gist is hosted by Martha Jean Schindler, an organizer and independent journalist, and the woman who ran for mayor of a deep-red Georgia city and got a third of the vote. Each episode cuts through the noise on politics, local power, and the systems designed to keep regular people confused and compliant.
No spin. No both-sidesing. Just the gist.
