Get in the Booth

MovingBoxStudios
Three 24-year old friends work together to incorporate a nonprofit, build a website and launch a movement for transparency and accountability in politics. Based in Cambridge, MA, Glassbooth.org is on a mission to change the way we think about elections, democracy and the power of the vote. Pod was produced by Joe Zohar and Ev Boyle of Moving Box Studios.

    • I've been telling everyone I see to check this out! Its fool proof for those who don't know or understand what is exactly going on with the election. Even some of my politically unaware friends have been able to understand the real issues of the current times. And most importantly GlassBooth has helped to educate, in an unbiased manner, who we are, and are not voting for...

    • Great idea! After watching the pod, though, I think it is safe to say that Ian Manheimer isn't the best person to front GlassBooth. Ironically he comes across as a politician.

    • in my government class, one of the everyone's favorite things we've done has been to take surveys to see what our political viewpoints are. this site is like that but insanely better. people are so fascinated to find out things about themselves they may never have known, which is exactly what this site does. its a fantastic way to help people get into politics and feel like part of themselves is invested in this election.

    • This is an awesome idea! Great!! Good Job you guys, so many people seem to care but are almost intimidated, (or lazy) when it comes to politics. this will make the relation between politics and ones own principles a lot easier Get. I am forwarding this to my facebook! Wonderful

    • Wow! What an incredible concept brought to life inteligently and thoughtfully. This is something that should have been thought of years ago. Congrats you guys, your site is amazing and i'll be passing the word throughout the KC metro!

    • Glassbooth is awesome! I took the quiz and it was so user-friendly and informative. It also doesn't hurt that those three guys that made it are total studs... yum

    • Hope you all enjoy this pod. Let us know what you think, and make sure to check out the site and give the Glassbooth team your feedback as well.

      A few days after we filmed their launch party in Boston, Katie Couric gave a shout out to the Glassbooth guys on the CBS Evening News. Check it out...
