Customer Reviews
New Fan
Gagging down the agendas from the political parties puts my Prozac in therapy. However, this charming host provides the glitter to the hope, in navigating the noise. She avoids typical headline grabbing abuse from misunderstood voters while simplifying comments from guests by asking clarifying questions. The show helps listeners identify why people in D.C. are supporting candidates with more context than “party driven.” Highly recommended the show for those who have found self-worth.
New Fan
Saw you on Bill Maher for first time and immediately liked your perspective. Great interview with Scaramucci (who turns out to be an ok guy!).
I enjoy this show
While I can tell the host definitely leans liberal which doesn’t align with me exactly, I think she’s pretty fair and she has a wide range of guests on. I see other reviews bad mouthing it, but I believe that’s because they’re people that are so full on democrats or so full on republicans that you couldn’t ever make them happy unless everything you say and everyone you have on aligns with their beliefs. World needs more shows like this
