The discussion of JK Rowling shows a complete ignorance about basic biology and the need for protection of women’s sex based rights - so appallingly illinformed and gas-lighty that I doubt I’ll listen again. Should either host ever end up in prison, would they want to share a cell with a male rapist who identifies as a woman? Don’t they care about women in this situation? They are in the gender cult and I can’t take them seriously.
I’ve been an off and on listener since 2025. I finally unsubscribed after Sarah ranted and insisted that CK’s comments were taken out of context and the same could happen to her. Very disappointing to see her white privilege on display in this way. Beth is more “nuanced” but both come off as moderate centrists.

In the most recent episodes they seem so upset by the pushback white women receive and as a poc woman I... more
I’ve been listening to Sarah and Beth since at least 2020, as well as a premium member. I absolutely adore and recommend this political podcast, for thoughtful discussions and being open to change.

She has said she’s felt this way all along, but how do we trust her opinion now? She’s also become too much of a know it all and doesn’t l... more
Beth & Sarah’s treatment of trans school shooters was enlightened and compassionate- thank you! Beth’s emphasis on the need to be inclusive of all people was a relief to hear, particularly in schools and faith spaces.
