MajicoJeek ,

Incredible insight into American politics du jour

Molly is the absolute best. As a South African who follows American politics very closely and been utterly dismayed at the spectre of the last 4 years, this podcast has been instrumental in keeping my hopes up that “right” and “good” will ultimately prevail.

Thank you for the quick wit and humorous banter. Mary Trump is unequivocally my fav guest on your show - please have her on more often 😉
