I LOVE your podcast. I listen to a few other political podcasts and I prefer yours to others. You keep us educated AND grounded at the same time. You offer an update with commentary without doom spiraling or getting too in the weeds (thank you thank you thank you). You have clarity in thought about what we are up against and are somehow hopeful in your ongoing messaging about how we CAN do something with our focus on down ballot races/what is going right. Would love to have more guests on, ongoing tips for keeping us accountable/engaged in between election cycles, and you two are just fabulous the way you are. Thank you for your voices! I recommend you to everyone! I really do!
