Politics in MY Language

This podcast is THE best political summary for a young, busy mom. I love to hear Kristal’s voice; her calm understanding of the legal system and funny sense of humor is absolute reassuring. Whenever I find time to watch the news it always leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Leverage has been my saving grace to keep up to date with all of the loops and knots of this complicated political climate we live in. Especially the topics that effect my community.
