Episode 1: Meet the Hosts — A Musician’s Friendship Turned Political Awakening

Welcome to Middle Minded — where real Americans meet in the middle.

In Episode 1, hosts Peter Bogdanov and Dave Gabine take you behind the scenes into their unlikely friendship and the origin of this bold new podcast. From sharing stages as a charismatic front man (Peter) and drummer (Dave) to standing on opposite sides of the political spectrum, these two friends are now on a mission: to cut through the noise, cancel the culture war, and speak up for the working class.

Peter, a former liberal who’s grown disillusioned with the left, and Dave, a progressive who still believes in reform, come together for raw, unscripted, and honest conversations. In this first episode, they lay the groundwork for the podcast’s core values — truth-seeking, transparency, critical thinking, and unity.

Whether you’re politically homeless, tired of the extremes, or just want real talk without the media spin, Middle Minded is for you.

No scripts. No safe zones. Just real talk from two men who still believe America is worth fighting for — together.
