On the second episode of *No One Knows Anything*, the new BuzzFeed Politics podcast I'm hosting, we took a look at how surrogates have been a real problem for candidates this cycle. From Bill Clinton to...well, not Bill Clinton, the people candidates are getting to speak for them are causing headaches all over the place in 2016.
 
 This is a fun episode. The guest host is Katherine Miller, Politics Editor at BuzzFeed. We spend a few minutes snort-laughing over audio clips. Then I interview Alex and Caitlin Conant, the married team of Republican operatives who ran one of the few good surrogate operations this cycle so far for Marco Rubio. Caitlin tells a great story about wrangling surrogates starring Pat Toomey on the night Rubio faceplanted on the debate stage. 
 
 I also talk to a voter in South Carolina about how important surrogates are to undecided people trying to make decisions about who to vote for. Spoiler: not very.
 
 Meg Cramer, my copilot and producer, pulled out all the editing stops on this one and it sounds really great. (Well, the credits run a little long but that's 100% my fault.)
