The political podcast, one of the most popular in the country, will record the special episode in front of a TribFest audience. The taping focuses on what's at stake heading into November, according to the festival's own description of the event.
No date, venue or ticket details appear in the announcement, but the festival draws crowds to Austin each year for panels and conversations on politics and policy.
For listeners, it means a chance to hear the hosts break down the midterms in real time, before a live crowd, instead of through a studio mic. For the festival, it's a marquee booking that pulls in political junkies who might not otherwise make the trip to Austin.
The show airs as a video segment tied to the festival's 2026 lineup, putting a national podcast right in the middle of a Texas political conversation months before voters head to the polls.
