Break from politics would be great
Updating this: yahoo! You’re back to your wonderful, non-political content. So happy!
Love this show, and it seems like we had a few weeks of reprieve from politically laced topics, but alas, it’s back. We are inundated with politics everywhere- please get back to random, quirky stories! Pleeeeease
