News & Politics Podcasts

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

I Feel That Way Too!: A Conversation with Michelle MiJung Kim

8/5/2025
Things are getting so bad in America that many people are checking out, but we can’t keep pretending things are normal when we know they aren’t. We must collectively wake up to what’s happening, to how we got here, to the ugly and the scary that we’ve allowed to flourish to find the courage to stand against it. That while hope is important, we must also acknowledge change is not coming if we don’t stand up and work for it. People are not being rewarded for standing on the right side of history right now. There’s a real reason to be afraid of speaking out, but we have to do it anyway, and we have to do it even if we’re afraid. In fact, as our guest Michelle MiJung Kim says, “We can only truly practice courage when we are afraid”.

America’s $200 Billion Dollar Mistake: A Conversation with Garrett Graff

7/29/2025
We can’t afford pediatric cancer research, healthcare for seniors, or testing to make sure our water is clean, but we have $200 billion dollars to spend on masked, secret police to terrorize us on our streets? Really? This isn’t about safety, it’s about control, and it should deeply concern anyone who believes in human rights, due process and American freedom. Not to mention anyone who cares about the budget.

Don’t Die: A conversation about American healthcare with Dr. Anahita Dua

7/15/2025
America’s health is in danger. We’re not testing our food, water and drugs like we should. We’re limiting access to vaccines. We aren’t testing for covid or bird flu or any other communicable illness going around, and the people in charge of our health from the Administrator of the Centers of Medicare and Medicaid to the Surgeon General are on a spectrum from quack science to anti science. On top of it all we have the MAHA movement on the rise with the power and financial grift of non-doctor, non-scientist RFK Jr. which will ultimately do the opposite of make America healthy. To discuss how much the group in charge of our health is actually bad for our health, we are joined today by Dr. Anahita Dua a cardiovascular surgeon, associate professor of surgery, and founder of Healthcare for Action.

How to Be a Good Person in a Bad World: A Conversation with Rutger Bregman

7/8/2025
Historian and author, Rutger Bregman believes there’s an antidote to the sense of emptiness that so many people feel, and it’s the will to make the world a better place. To devote your career to the greater challenges of our time rather than just making money. That the time has come for a moral reawakening. That moral ambition not just financial ambition is what we need if we want to fix the world and actually like our place in it.

Hold the Line: with the ACLU’s Deborah Archer

7/1/2025
The foundations of our democracy are being torn apart and organizations like the ACLU are showing up every day to hold us together. As their president Deborah Archer says, this might be the work the ACLU was built for but we know they can’t be left to fight alone. We have been divided on purpose, but the time has come to come together. We can’t just have justice by geography, or gender, or sexual orientation. We, the people means everyone. Everyone deserves due process and civil rights. Everyone should have the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness and it’s up to everyone to bridge the gap between the America that was promised and the America that is.

Women’s Utility... Their Fertility - A Conversation with Planned Parenthood’s President, Alexis McGill Johnson

6/17/2025
In a world that’s become deeply transactional, we need to get more relational. We need to have the difficult conversations about access to health care, abortion care, women’s rights, minority rights, human rights…because ultimately they’re all connected. Planned Parenthood, an organization used by 1/3 of American women and 1/10 American men is under direct attack by the Big Beautiful Bill and it has nothing to do with health care and everything to do with control.

NO KINGS: A Conversation with Indivisible’s Ezra Levin

6/10/2025
Those who seek to destroy democracy want us to feel overwhelmed, burnt out, hopeless and alone. Which is why we need each other for strength, camaraderie, and courage. As the Resistance on Andor say, “I have friends everywhere.” As we do too. Friends, fellow countrymen, and brave patriots who want what we do. A country that’s free, fair, just and stable, and leaders who will represent us and fight back. If we can’t find those leaders then we might, however reluctantly, have to become those leaders. Join me and Ezra Levin, as we discuss being part of the active resistance and building an army of pro-democracy warriors starting with No Kings Day on June 14th.

Pride & Prejudice: An American Story with GLAAD’s Sarah Kate Ellis

6/3/2025
LGBTQ Americans live in a paradox. On one hand we have a growing population of LGBTQ Americans, a group whose rights are codified nationally with a supermajority of Americans supportive of life outside the heteronormative box, and yet we’re seeing a rising level of hate and extremism against that same community and anyone - be they individuals or corporations - who stand up as public allies. How can that be in 2025? Today we talk to Sarah Kate Ellis, President and CEO of GLAAD, about what to do, where we go from here and the potential of a moment like this.

What if we Tried Something Different?: A Conversation with Joanna Johnson

5/20/2025
Today’s guest Joanna Johnson, internet sensation and brilliant teacher otherwise known as Unlearn16, reminds us that capitalism isn’t our natural state. We pretend this economic system failing us is out of our hands, but we’re the one’s who built it. It’s man made. We can change the game because we made the game, and it’s possible the fascism we’re seeing is simply the result of end stage capitalism. We’re at a tipping point, and the time might be coming to flip the board. What if we weren’t afraid of change? What if we built something new? What if things really could get better? But you have to understand where you came from to know where you’re going, so that’s what we’re going to focus on today.

The Corruption is Endless. A Conversation with Robert Reich

5/13/2025
As today’s guest, Robert Reich, former US Secretary of Labor, wrote in his substack “Brace yourselves. The economy is heading into very bad weather.” That while prices and unemployment are going up. Everything else is going down. This is, of course, the polar opposite of what President Trump campaigned on, and exactly we, the president’s opposition said he would do. If anything good is going to emerge from this nightmare, it’s going to take the majority of us uniting to collectively demand it. That we can’t just be AGAINST this hideous, lawless, authoritarian version of America, where our President is a corrupt grifter surrounded by other grifters, we have to be FOR something better. That perhaps the silver lining of this horror will be the coalitions being built to fight the regime finding common ground on which to build something that finally works for all of us.

It’s OK to Feel Scared: A Conversation with Jocelyn Benson

5/6/2025
It’s ok to feel scared right now. To be angry and frustrated and not know what to do. It’s fine to have those feelings, but as Michigan Secretary of State, and leading candidate for Governor, Jocelyn Benson asks, what do we do next? How do we stand up for what’s right when the stakes are high? How do we change the world not let the world change us? We talk today about finding purpose in rage, in the importance of building the bravery muscle, and to move forward even when we’re scared.

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.

Cause a Frickin’ Rukus! A Conversation with David Rothkopf

4/1/2025
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. As always, if you find worth in what we do, please consider SUBSCRIBING to PoliticsGirl Premium.
