Our goal is to help people grasp political topics in a way that makes sense, without all the noise. Husband-and-wife duo Jamie Miller, a political expert, and Jennifer Bash, a sharp-witted outsider, take trending news and social media debates and break them down with insight, humor, and historical context. We explore whether issues are truly new or just recycled, helping listeners navigate the facts without the freak-out. Serious analysis meets a down-to-earth approach in this lively mix of news and laughs!
