  • My main source of news

    Politics used to stress me out to the point where I avoided all news of what was happening. Then, about a year ago, I discovered this podcast. I was a casual listener until covid hit when I subscribed and started following them on social media. I can’t get enough of Sarah and Beth, they have been a lifeline especially in this stressful election season. I appreciate their knowledge and also the way they speak kindly toward people they disagree with. Highly recommend giving this podcast a listen!

  • Great overall

    Beth is excellent. She’s thoughtful. Sarah is a real challenge. She loves to hear herself talk about everything. Her inability to stop interrupting people drives me insane. I wish they’d time her / cut her off because she’s unable to manage her role in a conversation.
