Customer Reviews
Best Politics Podcast. Ever!
Seriously though, Tina and Hillary do a fantastic job each episode to keep the show both entertaining and interesting. You’ll laugh, you’ll scream, you’ll cry, and it’s all due to their superb work. If you’re interested in politics or live in South Florida, you owe it to yourself to listen!
I LOVE THESE WOMEN!!!!
Tina and Hillary are Super fun, super informative and super educational. Not only do they discuss politics and crime and shadiness of the past, but I am thoroughly up-to-date on the politics of our present, which are not great if you’re paying attention
#WOMENHAVERIGHTS
These chicks are fire
I loved where they started, with a willingness to approach appalling human behavior with a sense of humor. Their research is great, and more than that, their passion is super inspiring. Keep yelling, Ladies!
