This show makes me feel seen for the most random reasons and always lifts my spirits. It also keeps me up to speed on just enough political trash to not be clueless, while saving me from a pit of despair. My friend who told me about the show (thank you, Krista!!
) calls it “balm for the soul”, and no truer words were ever spoken.
