For the few who haven’t noticed by scrolling Twitter to the point of agony, the political climate sucks right now.
Partisan politics are pretty much always messy, soul-crushing chaos, but especially these days as the fate of the 2020 presidential election gets closer (but not too close…it’s still March, people). Still, during these trying times, what better way to break up the centrist white man narrative than with some female-hosted political podcasts?
Whether you’re a full-speed-ahead progressive or a more subtle centrist, there’s a podcast to help you feel less alone.
The Electorette
Among the slew of podcasts that spawned from the fateful 2016 election is the Electorette, which features interviews with brilliant female minds—politicians, authors, activists, you name it. What each guest of the semi-anonymous host, Jenn, share is a passion for progressive policy and leading the resistance.
