I'm from Pennsylvania

[sept 18 2025 update - guests on new episode were terrible. First time I’ve ever had to turn off an episode. Haven’t we learned anything? Bad vibes… but will obviously be back next week for N!] Been listening for a few years and Negin continues to knock it out of the park. News and laughs. Much needed.
You make my day better

I am going to resubscribe on Patreon! Thank you for making a show that, this week, was the only news-related podcast that didn’t leave me feeling anxious or depressed.
Fantastic!

I love love love this podcast. Negin Farsad is so incredibly sharp - her insights and commentary about current events and politics are helpful to hear. Plus she’s so funny that she somehow makes it easier to cope with the crazy times we’re living in. I really look forward to each new episode. Thanks Negin!!
love to laugh and think at the same time

Negin Farsad is a fantastic Commedian and host - didn’t really know her work before the podcast - but I’ve discovered many great new comedians through her show (really miss @ Midnight for that!) and as a pretty deep political content consumer, find it smart and interesting and SO much more education and insightful than a lot of the pundits on repeat….
