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!

Center-left show with measured and informed opinions

I’ve been listening to ‘Pantsuit Politics’ with Beth and Sarah for a couple years now and always look forward to each episode. Yes, their views are left-leaning, but if you’re listening to the show, that’s what you have to expect. Because hosts on a podcast disagree with your political beliefs does not make it a bad podcast. I’ve read a few negative reviews here and it’s sad to see some people angry because the show doesn’t follow along with what they want to hear. There are plenty of podcasts that will say what you want them to say; if this isn’t one of them, than find one that does. I’d suggest it’s important to listen to opposing viewpoints, as long as they’re giving an accurate representation, as to not end up in an echo chamber that capitalizes on lies. Thanks again, ladies.

Please don’t interview your children on pod

I love the show but please don’t put your children on the pod. They are not yet as articulate or as compelling as the standards you have set for this show.
