  • Gillibrand is a Ghoul

    I haven’t listened to the podcast for a while because Kirsten Gillibrand seemed like a regular guest (or maybe you talked about her frequently). She is a horrible person and worse politician. I’m still giving you five stars because, other than that, this show is very candid and funny.

  • Excellent and funny

    Such a good discussion and even if it were not, totally worth 5++ stars for the proposed Trump Graft Clawback Act. Hopefully coming to a congress near you.

USA’s Boiling Points w. Megan Gailey
Q: So is polyamory more popular than ever before, or are we just hearing about it more? Now, Megan, have you been following the Lindy West discourse at all?
