  • So annoying

    If you want to listen to a liberal white woman complaining in a nasally SoCal accent about the injustices of the US… this is the podcast for you. Meredith Lynch labels herself as a comedian but she’s not funny. She’s not funny at all. She’s ill informed, judgmental and childish. We’ve officially entered the era of anyone believing they can start a podcast even when they have no experience and don’t know how to talk to people without being condescending & hateful.

  • Continued failure

    Meredith is a professional grifter and rebrander. I’ve genuinely lost count, but we’re what - venture eight? nine? in the past year alone? At some point it stops looking ambitious and starts looking like a revolving door of half-baked ideas.

    There were the short-lived podcasts (yes, Oddly Stupid or whatever that was), the paid “classes” where she positioned herself as a social media expert while barely cracking triple-digit engagement, and now - surprise! - another yt female led podcast rollout... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Private Equity Owns America's Deadliest Coal Plant, And It's Affecting Your Air Quality | Bonus Episode
Q: What are the health and environmental concerns tied to Gavin's operations under private equity ownership?
The plant contributes to air and water pollution, including coal ash concerns near groundwater along the Ohio River, leading to eye and lung irritation and broader respiratory health impacts for nearby residents, with long-term risks tied to exposure to pollutants and ash.
Private Equity Owns America's Deadliest Coal Plant, And It's Affecting Your Air Quality | Bonus Episode
Q: Can you describe what Cheshire was like before private equity bought Gavin?
Cheshire was a true small-town community along the Ohio River with a few hundred residents, a sense of local life, and a traditional town structure; after the buyout, most residents left, houses were bulldozed, and the village infrastructure deteriorated, shrinking the community dramatically.
Trump's White House Press Ban with Erin Ryan, PLUS Clavicular Arrested, and What Patrick Clancy Said On 60 Minutes
Q: What are your thoughts on the decision to ban certain White House reporters and the timing of the move?
Erin Ryan argues it's a dangerous, potentially unlawful overreach that undermines the public's right to hear from elected officials, emphasizing the need for accountability and press access rather than exclusion.
Alix Earle Addresses Alex Cooper, Polymarket's Lindsay Clancy Ad Backlash & Reddington's GMA Trump Pardon Ask + Gina Hinojosa on Texas
Q: From a governance perspective, what would you change to improve election access in Texas if you were governor?
I would appoint a secretary of state who believes in empowering Texans to vote and make the process user-friendly, while recognizing that broader changes may require legislative action.
Alix Earle Addresses Alex Cooper, Polymarket's Lindsay Clancy Ad Backlash & Reddington's GMA Trump Pardon Ask + Gina Hinojosa on Texas
Q: What do you think people in Texas actually care about in this election cycle, given the different issues at play?
Voters are focused on practical concerns like prosperity through hard work, affordable living, and access to opportunities, with abortion policy and border security being salient but evolving issues as the political landscape shifts.
