  • Hope peddler

    I do like this pod and do listen, but it’s still we just need to win elections to stop maga. We had a trifecta after trump 1 and not a thing was done. Supremes added no, major ethics overhauls no, and manchin and sinema killed the rest. I used to donate thousands for the dems and now not a penny ever!

  • Turning politics off is a Privilege.

    I love Leigh so much. I’ve gotten to a point where I don’t know if I can take the news anymore, I’m anxious and sad and angry so often. But I know it’s a privilege to be able to “turn the politics off” and some don’t have that choice, so here I am. Leigh is able to explain current events in a way that doesn’t suck my soul out while still being very firm on WHERE WE ARE AT CURRENTLY IS WRONG and I’m not being gaslit into oblivion. I’ll be a listener forever, thanks Leigh.

  • Brings hope in dark times

    Leigh’s podcast, book, and “kitchen rants” have taught me more about US politics than anything I learned in school. Leigh has a wonderful way of explaining current events, and the workings of the government with a passion and motivation that is, in my opinion, unmatched. She can articulate things in a very palatable way, and sprinkles in my favorite four letter word at the perfect moments, which I appreciate so much!
