  • Actual Fan!

    Such a great show! I love listening - just wish it was on more. And very refreshing - I was a big Megyn Kelly fan and found your show when I needed other podcasts to listen to after her refusal to call out Candace & Tucker. This is a great mix of facts, friendship, political insight and pure happiness. Thank you for this show!
