  • Spot on.

    Everyone feeling distraught after the election should listen to their latest episode with Catherine Liu on Kamala and the Dems, especially if you are still bewildered by how people could vote for Trump or generally live in the NYC cultural bubble. Highly informative and clearly articulated without oversimplifying.

I use this podcast as a lighthouse i... more
