Journalists Katelyn Burns and Christine Grimaldi see this panic for what it is though: a grift. They take a closer look at these temper tantrums, dispelling myths, laughing at the most outrageous takes, and shedding light on which perspectives are actual... more

  • Maybe they are good writers

    I came to this show because of other podcasts I love, and I held out for awhile, but lately it feels like Katelyn Burns is phoning it in. Christine tries really hard to get Katelyn to bring something to the table in terms of researched analysis, but nothing comes, and it wasn’t until the Blake Lively episode where Katelyn had a lot of experience and knowledge that I had to quit the podcast, because it was was 30 minutes of nothing.

Q: Can you talk a little bit about that messaging that you're putting out there?

Q: What was your process of going from a journalist and social media presence to deciding to run for office?
