If you have nothing nice to say, you can sit with us. Suzanne Lambert, the "Regina George liberal," presents Mean But True —an unapologetically irreverent and lighthearted podcast that explores pop culture, current events, and the politics that shape our everyday lives. Strong opinions about inconsequential (and otherwise) topics are encouraged. Do you have something mean but true you need to get ... more

I don’t know why I held out for so long…then just binged it! Suzanne is really good at interviewing people. No loose ends. I like that she keeps it simple for some of us. New must listen for me.
I look forward to listening to this podcast every week while driving. Suzanne does an amazing job interviewing each guest with fun and authenticity. It’s hilarious and I never know what they’re going to talk about, in the best way.
I’ve always felt like Suzanne and I were friends (not in a weird way). So when she started a podcast, it was an immediate follow. I don’t know much about the comedy world and I followed her for her political takes so the podcast it’s self is actually a nice break from politics and general doom in the world and feels like I’m chatting with a friend on long drives or when I begrudgingly do laundry. Love her!
I am chronically online and always connected to politics; this podcast is a way to stay plugged in but also is so damn entertaining. I look forward to Tuesdays for this little ray of sunshine. ☀️
I was delighted to run across this podcast, as I’ve been a fan of Suzanne’s content for a few years.
I don’t understand, however why Fox News is at the front of the ad portfolio. It’s not “wrong”, it’s just a hard clash with the brand- and I hope that it’s reconsidered.
