Divide and conquer. Set people against each other by age if you can’t do it by class. I happen to be a Boomer, that is a real thing, men came home from the wars and got back to life, married and started families. These other things, Gen xyz, are just made up divisions that set people apart from each other.
Current events discussed with reasonable voices!
Followed Mary Katharine Ham here from another podcast when she was moderate. She has become a Trump apologist and “Normally” is no longer normal but has veered into far right territory. Such a bummer because so few moderate voices remain.
This podcast is not only fun, up to date, and entertaining, it is also sensible and respectable to both sides of the political spectrum. I listen to both episodes per week as soon as I wake up! Mary Katherine & Karol are a perfect podcasting pair. They don’t always agree 100% but can discuss topics without being in lock step. I love the discussions about their families. If you haven’t checked out Mary Katherine’s other podcast called Getting Hammered it’s also a Must listen!!!
With all the craziness happening with some conservative commentators, I was beyond delighted to discover Normally - super normal, straight forward discussions on current issues. Thank you ladies for podcasting & acting NORMALLY! Keep up the good work 🌟

A centrist-leaning political commentary show led by two seasoned hosts who blend sharp analysis with accessible, everyday perspectives. Episodes routinely tackle current events, media coverage, policy debates, and parenting considerations, often grounding hot-button topics in practical real-world impact. The dynamic duo balance skepticism with humor and personal anecdotes, offering a measured alternative to polarized discourse. A standout aspect is the hosts' ability to challenge narratives across the political spectrum while maintaining a relatable, non-elite tone that appeals to everyday listeners who want thoughtful, moderated conversation without hysteria.
