Start Me Up with Kimberley A. Johnson Podcast

Hosted by blogger and author Kimberley A. Johnson.'Start Me Up' isn't just any other podcast. I'm willing to call BS when I see it and I don't care if it's coming from a rightwinger or a self-professed bleedingheart liberal. I'm not always politically correct and I'm a huge fan of loose talk and salty language. Sarcasm is guaranteed and political correctness will be at a minimum. This podcast is for anyone who wants to listen to compelling conversations with a variety of guests about current events and controversial topics.

    Start Me Up: Writer, Sarah Wood

    Writer Sarah Wood is back! That wonderful, fabulous, historic presidential debate! We're still on a high and we celebrate all of the Harris goodness; Trump was humiliated on the world stage--in a way we've never witnessed--and from what we've seen of him to date, it's a good guess he'll spiral into an even more deplorable version of himself before this is all over; the Haitian pet rumor is already causing real-world damage; Sarah and I did our best to navigate what's happening now--all the joy and hope but we temper it with the fact that Trump and the GOP are still a gigantic threat to American democracy. Don't get happy. All gas, no brakes, but we have a real chance at victory this November. Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

    Start Me Up: Author Ann Werner

    Ann Werner is my mom and the author of many books. Today, we discuss her trilogy about a global pandemic. Book one: The Melt. Book two The Augurs, and book three The Adepts was just released. After we chatted about her books, we dove right into politics; the amazing and very entertaining Democratic National Convention; Tim Walz is our real-life Ted Lasso; if we all vote, we will see a blue wave--maybe even a blue tsunami and why MAGA will likely fail at cheating--but don't get happy!
