Reviews

Being on Two Broads Talking Politics is a casual conversation with two other moms reflecting on how normal citizens can get involved with the political process. Learn about women running for office at every level and leading groups like red shirt Moms Demand Action activists showing up in statehouses across the country fighting for gun reform.

Love this podcast! They get me fired up and ready to fight the good fight. But delve in deep to conversations and discussions we need.

--Charity Haines, Listener in Illinois

So refreshing to have sane, factual conversations about politics rather than pre-conceived outraging that don't seem to get us anywhere. Both Kelly & Sophy are well researched in providing the right context & then bringing on experts to extend the conversations further. Was intriguing to understand public health not just form an internal but also an external view of citizens being away or serving & the impact it has on them.

When I’m in the mood for politics, I find myself turning to Two Broads Talking Politics a lot. It’s not just that they have great guests–they absolutely do, as you’ll see–but it’s the way the hosts, Kelly and Sophy, approach every subject. They’re genuinely interested in every person and topic they cover.

Even when covering fairly intense issues, they bring a warmth and sense of calm that I really appreciate. There’s a fair amount of outrage in the world, on social media, and on the airwaves, which is decidedly just, but it’s hard to take 24/7. This podcast allows you to get to know what’s happening in the political scene but without all the drama.
