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© 2022 Meidas Media Network, Leigh McGowan Ciencia Política Política y Gobierno

  • WTF is HAPPENING America?!

    WTF is HAPPENING America?!
    Aug 19 2025
    Things are not right. I’m doing my pod from the road today because something wasn’t right. In my particular case it was my son’s appendix, but the wrongness of what’s going on isn’t limited to my immediate family. It’s all around us. We’re drowning in it. So, this pod is about what’s going on this week. What we should be paying attention to. How we know when things aren’t right, and just like we just did with my son, how we take the information we’re given and act if things need to change. Let me know what you think about this episode. If people like this kind of news breakdown, I’ll do more of these episodes…just from home this time. As always, if you find worth in what we do, please consider SUBSCRIBING to PoliticsGirl Premium.

  • Trump wants you Dumb & Mean: A Conversation with Ben Sheehan

    Trump wants you Dumb & Mean: A Conversation with Ben Sheehan
    Aug 12 2025
    Don’t feel bad if you don’t know how the government works. It’s by design. Today we talk to the Host of PBS’s Civics Made Easy about the importance of offering Americans the kind of knowledge we should have but don’t, on a network that the government should fund, but won’t. Ben wants us to, “Get caught up together” and Trump wants us as stupid as possible. As always, if you find worth in what we do, please consider SUBSCRIBING to PoliticsGirl Premium.

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

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

My patriotism is full bore, your thoughts have been within my own for five years. As a vet it saddens me that other vets think their oath means to degrade or take over our country.

Excellent

I was born in Detroit and have lived in Michigan my entire life. I grew up in a Republican family. I paid little attention to politics until Trump entered the scene. I couldn't believe what was going on in this country. The things discussed in this Pod Cast I have lived through. Since we have had Governor Whitmore in power I feel the people's opinions are heard. Things have been changing for the better and the damn roads are being repaired. Covid slowed the Governor's promises down but never stopped her. I am a graduate from Michigan State University. The mass shooting hear was heart breaking. The university, students and community have come together. All of the people were demanding changes to gun policies. Michigan's Goverment has heard and responded. So I truly believe I am lucky to live in Michigan.

Lucky to live in Michigan.

I knew Christian Nationalism was coming to the surface in America but had no idea it was this pervasive. Everyone should lusten to this podcast and start screaming as if you hair is on fire until you get everyone's attention!!!

Two of my favorites together talking about the federal cases against Trump and his coconspirators. They break down the last several years and make it easy to understand. I'm only sorry to say there is no swearing.

Excellent recap of Trump justice
