Customer Reviews
Never gets old
Sarah and Beth together are pure gold. I have grown to love this podcast more and more each year. I have other podcasts that I have to take periodic breaks from because I get tired of the hosts or the content, but because of the balance and mix of content this show provides, I can listen to it endlessly. I love the way they each process current events and other news and life events in their own unique way, but together.
Thank you!
I absolutely love listening to this podcast hosted by these two amazing women. They always bring a fresh perspective to the political issues of our time. Their thoughtful analysis and insightful commentary have truly opened my eyes to new ideas and ways of thinking. Not only do they provide valuable information, but they do so in a way that is engaging and easy to understand. I truly believe that they are changing the world one episode at a time, and I can't recommend their podcast enough. Five stars all the way!
My safe space for processing politics!
Sarah and Beth have been a pillar of my podcasting listening for the past four years. They’re thoughtful, nuanced approach to the news, willingness to tackle tough questions and hold up a mirror and be self-reflective has truly changed my perspective on many topics. I feel that they have shaped me into a more intellectually curious and grace filled version of myself and I can’t thank them enough for all they do for their audience! I have been a premium member for a couple of years now and can say that the subscription is well worth it - they work so hard to bring value and fun with every episode. Thank you so much and keep up the excellent work!
