Program
AMO is pleased to announce that the 2026 AMO Conference keynote address will be delivered by the panel from the Curse of Politics podcast.
With Scott Reid, Jordan Leichnitz, Kory Teneycke, and host David Herle, the Curse of Politics is the political podcast you secretly hate to love – but love anyway – for their unfiltered, unscripted, and unmuzzled take on the current state of political affairs.
Get ready for a commotion of insights, arguments, opinions and an impossibly loud laugh or two. Meet the speakers.
