Apple Podcasts5EmilyjcatUnited States5 months ago - Excellent and sobering…
A deep dive into the decades-long multi-faceted effort to of bend — if not break — the US’s 200 year “American Experiment” culminating in Project 2025. Democrats need a counter strategy and we don’t have decades to do it.
Apple Podcasts5viajoportodoUnited States9 months ago - Thoughtful, provocative and important. Listen
Listen to Bella Goode, she does her research and helps us navigate what’s already well entrenched.
Apple Podcasts5ZLDJNATUnited States9 months ago I feel like I should have known a lot of the things she talked about. But the news only scratches the surface of a lot of the issues. She lays it all out in a comprehensive easily digested way. Very eye-opening. I have insisted my mother and my husband both listen to her podcast series. I would love more as we watch our country crumble into unrecognizable ruin.
