  • I love this show but there are too many ads…

    It’s getting to be unbearable and I find myself not listening, skipping or deleting shows because I don’t have the strength. Couldn’t it be limited to maybe TWO ad breaks if needed? Or better yet ad-free?

  • Doing a disservice to listeners

    I listened to the Feb 13 episode with disgust. Pretending to not understand why the Trump administration shut down and undid reporting capabilities for sexual violence survivors, and shut down sexual violence and gender based violence protections, is gross. HIS ADMINISTRATION IS FULL OF LIARS WHO DO NOT CARE ABOUT WOMEN. Just cite all these actions as proof, stop saying that the administration is trying to have it both ways. They're not. They're just lying about protecting women. Say it.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

America in Retrograde w. Errin Haines & Dr. Karen Tang
Q: How effective is checking blood work to determine whether someone is perimenopausal?
Blood work is really unreliable for determining perimenopause; symptoms are typically a better indicator than hormone levels, which fluctuate greatly.
America in Retrograde w. Errin Haines & Dr. Karen Tang
Q: For those who cannot take hormone replacement therapy, are there other medications or options out there to help with some of the symptoms?
There are alternatives such as antidepressants like Lexapro and Paxil, lifestyle changes like magnesium for sleep, and new medications like Veoza for hot flashes.
America in Retrograde w. Errin Haines & Dr. Karen Tang
Q: So, Dr. Tang, how early can you go into perimenopause and what is perimenopause?
Perimenopause can start as early as your late 30s and can last up to 10 years before menopause, characterized by hormonal fluctuations and symptoms like hot flashes and missed periods.
Look Alive Democrats! w. Julissa Arce
Q: What should you do if somebody from ICE wants to talk to you?
You should not open your door unless they have a judge-signed warrant, and you should keep callbacks from advocates at hand.
Look Alive Democrats! w. Julissa Arce
Q: Can you walk us through how you've been doing and how you have been receiving and processing news of what the Trump administration is doing over these last few days?
It's been triggering, as an undocumented person for a decade, seeing the fear people face is real.
