Customer Reviews
Bridget is homeless, like the rest of us
Those in the center, unite! That's the rallying cry of the hilarious and irreverent Bridget Phetasy. Phetasy is a word she concocted, meaning when satire becomes reality, and 2020 was that year for sure. I've been following her for a while and its fascinating to witness this ex-Playboy author and avowed social liberal wrestle with the insanity of the far Left, while unable to join the Trumpers on the right because they're insane. If you've felt confused or bewildered about what's happened in US culture and politics, this is your podcast.
Must listen
Interesting, smart and funny conversations

Look forward to listening to your future episodes. Also your Instagram is pretty funny.
