  • Sarah is a rockstar

    I’m so impressed with Sarah’s ability to remain calm and focused in the face of the uninformed and misinformed voter. I yell at my phone a lot, but still enjoy the podcast. Always interesting and informative. Sarah is so intelligent and yet, very entertaining at the same time. I never miss it.
