Customer Reviews
New Fan
Gagging down the agendas from the political parties puts my Prozac in therapy. However, this charming host provides the glitter to the hope, in navigating the noise. She avoids typical headline grabbing abuse from misunderstood voters while simplifying comments from guests by asking clarifying questions. The show helps listeners identify why people in D.C. are supporting candidates with more context than “party driven.” Highly recommended the show for those who have found self-worth.
Shameful on all fronts.
This show is awful. Trump propaganda. Not even sure Tara knows she’s supposed to be interviewing, not just blowing trump all episode.
Trump Pollster
Wondering why Tara just doesn’t formally endorse Trump. The entire pod with McLaughlin is virtually a Trump commercial. She allows the Trump employee to spew the same lies we all hear from 2016, 2020 and 2024 with almost zero pushback. I understand providing a forum but to be completely silent in the face of such fabrications isn’t neutral, it’s an endorsement.
