American Fever Dream
From under the desk to in your ears, V. Spehar joins Betches Media in a new podcast dedicated to curing the collective malaise brought on by our chaotic political environment. Every week, Spehar and co-host Sami Sage will tenderly guide you through the biggest moments in politics and pop culture with a healing dose of perspective and humor. Rather than spiral over the latest unprecedented event, the hosts dig for the 2024 political tea you *really* want to hear while offering all the information you need to be an empowered citizen, without the side of despair to keep you up at night.

The Betches Podcast is a hilarious and ACCURATE review of the latest news stories! It makes keeping up with the hellfire that is America right now actually bearable and even fun!

Pretty sure the host is mentally ill, wouldn’t recommend
Essential listening - feel so much better informed (and it’s HILARIOUS)
13/08/2019
I credit this podcast with single-handedly awakening my political awareness (and making me shriek with laughter while doing so). As someone who used to avoid the news because it was genuinely just too depressing, I listened to this almost by accident as I love all the other Betches podcasts. Now it’s the soundtrack every night while I do my evening skincare routine 😂 Meticulously fact-checked and with whip-smart, well-informed and witty presenters (Alise’s humour alone will make you unable to listen to this in public, trust me), Sami, Alise and Dylan make sense of the zeitgeist and offer balanced, nuanced opinions on current political events - breaking them down without ever being patronising OR leaving the listener overwhelmed with jargon. Just listen to it, trust me. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Favourite way to keep up to date

As an American loving abroad for the last 7 years Betches has quickly become my favourite way to keep up to date about all the issues at home! They keep it factual, relatable and Sami is personally my favourite for always looking at multiple angels of every issue. Everyone on the podcast is amazing. Can’t thank them enough for keeping me informed.
