  • Leigh Says it Like it Is

    I have loved listening to The Politics Girl for the past several months since this country has fallen into autocratic hands. She is a great listener and interviewer, but also a great motivator for standing up to this crazy regime! I found her through her TikTok videos and then found the podcast! Leigh I am with you!
