About Our Podcast
The most trusted podcast on California politics, California Underground delivers in depth and well researched insight into California political news.
Are you a Californian who ever meets someone else and all of sudden you both start to grumble about say, the cost of gas in California? Or maybe how taxes are too high? Feels like you met someone else who is part of secret society, an underground coalition if you will.
Host Phil Mauriello started the California Underground podcast because he believed there were more opinions in California than the typical statist, far left, "progressive" opinion. He blends well researched information, with balanced straight forward analysis to give you a full picture of what is happening in California.
