Super informative, approachable, and funny.

I love this podcast! I’ve so appreciated the succinct, thoughtful, funny summaries of the issues. Especially love the tips they give on talking to friends and relatives about this stuff. It’s humorous, it’s relatable, and most of all it’s wonderfully informative! I’ve learned so much and the hilarious jokes and personable hosts keep me coming back.

Phenomenal Podcast

Been listening to this podcast from day one and don’t want to stop. It’s funny and relatable but also educational. I have learned a lot through this podcast. I now know where I stand on the political spectrum and I feel more confident talking about it. Especially with the tips you all give out throughout the series. Thank you Mike and Claire!!
