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 Political Science Politics & Government

  • Why No Kings Matters: With Indivisible’s Ezra Levin

    Why No Kings Matters: With Indivisible’s Ezra Levin
    Mar 24 2026
    As Ezra Levin reminds us, No Kings is not just something we HAVE to do but something we GET to do. That we get to be a part of history by sending a very public message to our country, and the world, that we are mad as hell and we’re not going to take it anymore. But this time, it’s not enough to just go, we need to be bringing people with us. This administration is an existential threat to America and the world. No Kings is a day of community, that doesn’t just protest our bad president but brings together good people. Authoritarians want us to feel hopeless, like they are inevitable, but days like No Kings and the actions we take with our people afterward, is the antidote. We come in peace. But we come in numbers.

  • Is the News Killing You? : A Conversation with Michael Steele

    Is the News Killing You? : A Conversation with Michael Steele
    Mar 17 2026
    If you’re paying attention right now you know America is off the rails. We’re at war in the middle east. We’re being attacked at home by ICE. Everything is more expensive. Our government is calling protesters terrorists and terrorists allies. We’re killing people in custody. Women are losing their rights. Our elections are in danger and the Trump administration is threatening to pull the broadcast licenses of any news organization who reports that things are going anything less than perfect. It’s literal chaos. So what do we do? As always, if you find worth in what we do, please consider SUBSCRIBING to PoliticsGirl Premium.

  • Is this a Holy War? : A Conversation with former Evangelical Christian fundamentalist, Tim Whitaker

    Is this a Holy War? : A Conversation with former Evangelical Christian fundamentalist, Tim Whitaker
    Mar 10 2026
    If there are American leaders making military or legislative decisions based in faith rather than facts, that is a clear, and flagrant, violation of the separation of church and state. Commanders who send troops into combat have an obligation to the law, the mission, and the men and women under their command. If they think they are fulfilling some long prophesied Armageddon we need to hold them accountable. As always, if you find worth in what we do, please consider SUBSCRIBING to PoliticsGirl Premium.

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.

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 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!!!
