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

Where are Our Leaders? A Conversation with Governor Josh Shapiro

2/10/2026
America needs leaders who will oppose the cruelty, chaos and corruption that we’re seeing today. Leaders who won’t be booed at the Olympics or blame their own citizens for getting shot. Governor Shapiro reminds us that now is not the time to pull the covers over our heads or check out from the news, but the time to reengage in the American experiment because, ultimately, it really is the people who have the power to stop this.

Live Free or Die

1/27/2026
Steve Schmidt reminds us that the American inheritance is being stolen from us by gangsters. That our rights don’t come from the president or his administration, they come from the blood spilled by everyone who fought for our right to life and liberty. We are in a moment of great crisis, but an activism is awaking that has not been seen in generations. Steve makes it clear that we don’t need a win for the Democratic party, we need a victory for the American people. You can lie to us, threaten us, and try to scare us, but we’ll just keep showing up for our rights. And the more of us who come out to save America, the more inspired others will be to join them.

What’s happening in America right now is horrifying but not surprising. That we are living through an extreme stress test for democracy, but all is not lost.

We Have To Do THIS for Another Year?

I If you’re feeling exhausted you aren’t alone. The time we’re living in is weird and distressing. And if you, like me, are feeling the weight of the world right now, please understand you’re not it makes sense. However time keeps marching on whether we’re ready for it or not, and those who seek to destroy everything we hold dear, are counting on our exhaustion. So go into this new year with grit and determination because it’s going to be hard. Curiosity and imagination, because we have to create something new. And finally, allow yourself to let go of what was, in order to make room for what could be. I know there’s a world better than this, but we have to believe in it to build it.

The Epstein Breakdown: A conversation with Tara Palmeri

12/23/2025
The Justice Department and the FBI are currently in complete violation of the law when it comes to the Epstein Transparency Act. They are clearly hoping we just embrace our nihilism and give up ever knowing what happened because deep down we accept the rich and powerful get to live under different rules and they’ll just get away with it. Well, that is unacceptable to me, to our guest, Epstein expert Tara Palmeri, and I hope it’s unacceptable to you. The American government is engaged in what is potentially the largest coverup in American history and it’s about sex trafficking women and children. If we ever want to be a good country again, we can NEVER let this go. As always, if you find worth in what we do, please consider SUBSCRIBING to PoliticsGirl Premium.

Have you CRASHED OUT?

12/16/2025
I recently read a quote that said “I will never forgive him for making America a place people fear, a place people don’t like, don’t trust, don’t want to do business with, don’t want to visit, don’t want anything to do with. He has made America a place people laugh at, a place that is cruel and bigoted. America is no longer a destination. It is a place to be avoided.” And it resonated so deeply with me. I’m tired. You’re tired. We’re all exhausted and the hits just keep coming. So what do we do? Let’s talk about it.

How Do You Fix a Broken System: A Conversation with Yasmin Radjy

12/9/2025
The most consistent feeling people have in this country right now is that the system is broken and that makes us feel powerless when we’re not. The Trump administration might be impossible for us to reach right now, but voters are right there, and according to Swing Left’s Yasmin Radjy we should be talking directly to them. Hope is a muscle that we’ve allowed to atrophy, but there’s no progress without it. The Democrats have to do a better job at listening and building trust if we’re not only going to beat back this terrible government, but rebuild something far better in it’s place.

You Call Yourself a Christian?! A conversation with John Fugelsang

12/2/2025
Best selling author and comedian, John Fugelsang reminds us that the problem isn’t religion, it’s the fundamentalists and extremists who use religion as a way to power. As John says, “If your church isn’t telling you to love your enemy, but telling you who your enemies are, then it isn’t a church.” We have to stop using religion as an excuse to hate. There’s a reason the American constitution gave us a society where the church and state existed independent of each other and anyone who is suggesting that the two should co-mingle isn’t doing it because they love Jesus, they’re doing it because they love power and they’re acquiring it using his name.

2025, What a Year to Be Alive: A Thanksgiving Episode

11/25/2025
What has happened to us America? We have military in our streets, ICE murdering people in custody, we’re building concentration camps on our shores and shipping people to foreign prisons without evidence of a crime. We demolished one-third of the White House, our President is calling for Democratic leaders to be executed, and we might go to war with Venezuela for oil and minerals while American citizens can’t afford food or health care. It’s hard to be an empathetic, aware, patriotic American right now. To find, at this Thanksgiving holiday, what there is to be thankful for.

What is the Future of the Democratic Party? With Indivisible’s Ezra Levin

11/18/2025
Watching Democrats capitulate on the government shutdown without getting anything in return was a real kick to the face to everyone who thought we might finally have an opposition up for the fight. As Indivisible’s Ezra Levin reminds us, once we move past anger this can be a real opportunity. If we want the Democratic party to be better, it’s up to all of us to do the work to change it, to challenge the status quo, and to build a fighting machine strong enough to take on this regime. With that in mind, we need to care about primaries so we can choose leaders who are truly ready to meet the moment. Will we continue to lose our country to support the establishment, or are we ready to support fighters who might arrive from the outside? This is an inflection point. We need a party that can not only win elections, but leaders who will shake things up once they get there.

American Military OR Trump’s Military? : A Conversation with Kristopher Goldsmith

11/11/2025
Today is Veteran’s Day and sadly we can’t just honor our soldiers, we have to wonder who they work for. As guest, combat veteran Kristopher Goldsmith reminds us, our president is trying to pit Americans against each other. The president wants the military in our streets fighting for him at the same time his administration is tearing the VA to shreds. The damage this administration is doing to our soldiers, our veterans, and our citizens is incalculable. Which is why Kris’s work with Veteran’s Against Fascism and his new podcast On Offense are so important. We have to throw sand in the gears of this authoritarian takeover to, as Kris says we don’t end up with a military that only MAGA wants to join.

Freedom For ALL? A Conversation with Professor Alex Zakaras

11/4/2025
Today is election day and as our guest Alex Zakaras, the author of the brilliant new book Freedom for All: What a Liberal Society Could Be reminds us, there are opportunities to be seized. It’s so easy to be depressed but as some institutions fall, better ones have the opportunity to rise. As Professor Zakaras argues, the profound inequality in power, wealth, and status in our nation has fundamentally undermined the American social contract and we discuss what it would mean to extend the liberal promise of freedom to everyone on equal terms and how it could actually transform our economy and politics.

Are the Bad Guys Winning? A Conversation with Michael McFaul

Former Ambassador to Russia and author of the new book Autocrats vs. Democrats Michael McFaul reminds us that the autocratic world is united while the democratic world is not, and quite frankly, we have to get it together. We’re not allowed to just ignore what’s happening, or simply give up because it’s too hard. If we do that, the consequences will be even worse. We must find our allies, both at home and abroad, and work with them to defeat that which would defeat us. Fantastic insight in this episode.

NO KINGS! A Conversation with Indivisible’s Ezra Levin

10/21/2025
The No Kings rallies were incredibly successful, peaceful and mobilizing, but as our guest, Indivisible’s Ezra Levin, says: “If that’s all we do, it won’t be enough.” To fight this lawless regime Americans must continue to grow and diversify our tactics. This is not about one day of protest, but one of many efforts needed to stop government overreach. If you’re interested in next steps I encourage you to join the No Kings call Tuesday October 21st at NoKings.org or, if you’re listening to this later, go to indivisible.org to listen to the recording, or find or start an Indivisible group of your own. For now, keep talking about the rallies, tell the stories, celebrate what 7 million+ Americans did, and refuse to let our country be gaslit into thinking it didn’t matter, because it did and we’ll only get more powerful from here.

HOW do we SAVE AMERICA?- A Conversation with Steve Schmidt

10/14/2025
We are at a divided and isolated place in America, and watching the rising authoritarianism of the Trump administration, enabled by the Republican Congress, green lit by the bought and paid for Supreme Court is enough to make people feel powerless, but we are NOT powerless. We are living through a propaganda nightmare, but if the Freedom Frog in Portland has taught us anything it’s that those who seek to destroy America do not own the American spirt. You can lie about us, threaten us, try and scare us, but we’ll just keep showing up for our rights. And the more of us who come out to save America, the more inspired others will be to join them.

What Will the Military Do? : A Conversation with CEO of Vet Voice Janessa Goldbeck

10/7/2025
Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump met with 800 of the military’s top brass last week and it was difficult to process how demoralizing it felt. If you’re like me, you didn’t recognize your country as our president talked about bringing US cities “under control” and painting anyone who didn’t agree with him as the “enemy from within”. There was a lot to be outraged about in that meeting, and plenty that felt terrifying, but the event was also just humiliating.
