How Are We All This Dumb?: A Conversation with David Pakman
America appears to be in free fall and 30% of the country seems on board for a million decisions they didn’t vote for and will only hurt them? How is that possible? David Pakman joins us to talk about his new book, instant New York Times bestseller, The Echo Machine: How Right Wing Extremism Created a Post Truth America, which addresses how the fall of critical thinking and rise of reactionary politics has done such destruction to our nation and what can be.
Our country’s under attack and our media isn’t even talking about it. Which is why, now more than ever, we need to support those doing independent work to tell the truth, when it’s increasingly hard to find.

Who Will Step Up To Lead? : A Conversation with Run For Something’s Amanda Litman
We have this preconceived notion of who can, and should, be a leader. We need to throw that out the window. According to our guest, President and Co-founder of Run For Something, Amanda Litman, “Party recruitment is the most important thing we can be doing right now.” These are the people who will change the game. The candidates who will connect with the voters and set us on a brighter path. As Amanda says, “We need better people. Anywhere can be competitive, so we need to be fielding candidates everywhere.” And with a track record of bringing us leaders like: Sarah McBride, Molly McMorrow, and Jasmine Crockett…you know Amanda knows what she’s talking about. Join us for some hope and action!

Cause a Frickin’ Rukus! A Conversation with David Rothkopf
The Trump administration is actively seeking to destroy everything we know, but we can’t allow it. We need to fight back. Do more than we’re doing now. This is a nation built on causing a ruckus. So, that’s what the good citizens of America must do. We must recommit to the principles of truth, justice and freedom and stand up and fight for them. Trump is waging a systemic war against facts, intelligence and the rule of law. Our elections and our very sense of agency and power within this nation are at stake. So week need to understand what’s happening and we need to oppose it. Join us and we talk about how.

Everyone Gets Left Behind: A Conversation with Commander Bobby R. Jones
Current leadership isn’t just letting our military down, they’re setting them up. Cutting benefits, firing veterans, changing allies….Our soldiers might be, as Commander Jones says, “trained to absorb a lot” but they shouldn’t have to absorb this kind of disrespect. The American military are not there to make the president appear more manly, or be used as an enforcement brigade to deliver real estate deals or bring political enemies to heal, so what happens when the administration asks our soldiers to do something for him but against the constitution? You don’t remove the kind of expertise from military leadership unless you have an agenda of which you know military leadership wouldn’t approve. So where are we, and what comes next?

Save Canada! A Conversation with Global Affairs Experts Andrea Chalupa & Marcus Kolga
Expert in Soviet and Ukrainian history, Andrea Chalupa joins me and human rights activist and expert in Russia and disinformation Marcus Kolga, to discuss how important it is Canada not follow America down the path to authoritarianism laid by Russian influence and disinformation. Canadians need to understand they’re dealing with the same psychological warfare that was successful in America, and use the US as a cautionary tale. Donald Trump isn’t kidding when he says he wants to take over Canada, so Canadians need to vote for the leader who isn’t in bed with those who would let that to happen…

American Democracy is not promised to us and, with all the forces working against it, saving it will take a level of work most people aren’t ready for. The Politics Girl Podcast is here to give people a reason to care and a reason to fight. Our goal is to inspire. To instill in people a true understanding of what this country COULD be, if the right people were fighting for it, and what it WILL be if they don’t. It’s a political podcast yes, but more than that, it’s a podcast about America’s potential, where one passionate, and slightly mouthy, immigrant attempts to motivate the country to become what it promised to be but, so far, has yet to become. You’ll leave more knowledgeable, more engaged, and more sure that you, personally, can make a difference to the future of American democracy. Everyone’s got a little time for that right? Subscribe for new episodes every Tuesday. We’re in a fight for our country. We sure as hell better know what we’re fighting for. xo
