David Axelrod’s podcast, “The Axe Files,” will return to CNN Audio later this month. The podcast, a series of conversations with key players in the political world and beyond, has featured guests such as Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama, Tom Hanks, John McCain, Charles Barkley, Condoleezza Rice and nearly every 2020 democratic presidential candidate. “My thanks to my friends at Luminary for a great experience and exposure to this grand, new rising platform,” said Axelrod. “I wish you all the best! I am excited to announce that The Axe Files will return to its original home at CNN Audio and will be available for free wherever you download your podcasts.”
