Explicit Blue City Blues David Hyde, Sandeep Kaushik Twenty years ago, Dan Savage encouraged progressives to move to blue cities to escape the reactionary politics of red places. And he got his wish.

Inequality soared, and affordability tanked. And the conversation about those problems stagnated, relegated to the narrowly provincial local section of regional newspapers or local NPR programming. The Blue City Blues podcast aims to pick up where Savage’s Urban Archipelago idea left off, Explicit The Vertical SaaS Podcast Gavin Savage The vSaaS Podcast delves into the journeys of visionary founders, software leaders, and industry experts who are building category-defining vertical software for overlooked and underserved sectors.If you want to nerd out on vertical SaaS, this podcast is for you.At Xenata, we’re on a mission to bring you the untold stories behind building innovative teams and groundbreaking products.
