  • 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!
