- Slice through the murk with a dose of laughter
No other politics podcast has the power to uplift like this one. Maybe because at its heart is a friendship between two women, mothers, working professionals, ordinary people like you and me. Trying to make sense of this demoted world, with insight, sharp wit and a dose of compassion. A must listen.

They both maintain a positive attitude and sense of humour which is so much appreciated in these turbulent times.
