She is an invaluable resource for decent people fighting the good fight for democracy. Kudos and thank you!

Leigh presents current issues clearly and also gives concrete advice for listeners on how to take action

Leigh’s powerful, truthful and articulate delivery of her politics have made me a big fan. Thanks!

Leigh is incredible. She covers topics that impact Americans and speaks the truth. Thank you for fighting!

The Politics Girl is savy and no nonsense.

This podcast breaks through the mess of what media has become.

So happy that Leigh is on Meidas Touch! Your GoPure code didn’t work :(

Leigh McGowan covers news and politics in informative and understandable way. She covers topics that impact our day-to-day lives in the USA. She has insightful episodes with guests that are knowledgeable on the topic. I’ve learned so much about the moment we’re in politically.

Leigh provides straight talk and a fearless commitment to the truth. I appreciate her providing actionable steps for us to push back at these attacks against our democracy.

Love this podcast and thankful for those willing to speak up and speak out; especially now!

Not only entertaining but super informative. Keep fighting

So grateful for the direction and hope that is throughout every episode of this podcast while reporting the ACTUAL news. Thank you!

Thank you for fighting!

Leigh and her guests are skilled at navigating the current tumultuous political climate while simultaneously helping drown out the white noise. Her weekly podcast helps me to stay informed without overwhelming myself with every issue that pops up daily. Every American should be paying attention to her and her panel of guests.

Awesome guests with a wealth of knowledge regarding politics in the US. Provides reality but also hope for the future. Thank you Leigh, you’re an amazing host!

Nice to see the POV from an articulate, intelligent, informed and freely outspoken woman. In an area dominated by men. We need more voices like Leigh’s to raise awareness of our current realities.

I love this podcast so much. Can we please start a movement specifically for the American people called Not On My Watch. We need something more meaningful than “Democrats.” You are such a powerful force and I never miss and episode. It keeps me inspired! Keep up the great work!!

Leigh has an amazing ability to cut through the confusion and chaos and explain what’s happening in a way that anyone can understand. She says what I’m feeling in a way I don’t know how to articulate and I’m so glad we have her voice to guide us in this current hellscape version of America.

Thank you for keeping it real and to the point !!! You are awesome and love listening you make me feel sane in all this insanity!

Leigh McGowan Always an excellent informative broadcast Thank You

I feel like someone just rescued me from jumping off the balcony! Ken Martin and YOU Leigh,give me hope!!! ❤️🇺🇸🌻

Your podcast has made these uncertain times just a tiny bit more bearable.

I live in Maryland. Never appreciated Michael Steele more. One observation that I didn’t hear in this conversation. Democrats who lost in red states should show up (early) for the town halls that elected republican officials are scheduling. If the elected law maker doesn’t show up, they can stump speech and strategize with the constituents about what they can do. If the elected official does show up, they can be the opening act.

Inspirational and vital is this chaotic time.

I absolutely love Leigh!!! Thank you for all of your hard work and your inspiring words and advice and summing up the news to make it easy to understand!!!!

Just heard Leigh interviewed on the Daily Beans. Was blown away with her insight and intensity. Immediately signed up for The Politics Girl and saw that she interviewed my hero Heather Cox Richardson!! Can this day get any better???

1/22, What’s Next episode was so informative, relevant and important. Thank you for continuing to deliver important content!

Leigh continues to provide top notch information and have wonderful guests on to clarify critical topics. A must listen to show.

You are an amazing speaker. You have educated us with such clarity. Thank you

Thank you Leigh for helping us thru this very dark time in America. With my broken heart, I’m not tuning out. I wanted to, and because I was so despondent after Nov 5. In fact, I vowed to disengage. But you convinced me that I can’t. Thank you.

Thanks for keeping people on track Leigh. We must be prepared and in the know for this next administration. I appreciate your work.

Leigh McGowan tries to justify the murder of the UnitedHealth Care. I have never been so disgusted by her commentary and her ignorance of the issues and smear of the facts. She is ranting without having a clear eye of the actual issues. Disgusting. HCR even clarified that she doesn’t support murder if anyone so McGowan backed down. I feel sick and I have metastatic cancer so I’m not oblivious to these issues but I have enough sense to not celebrate or justify murder or mistake the issues. Disgusted.

Listening to the latest pod. Thank you so much for sharing your story. How moving. Thank you for this pod alllllways

I will tell you that this Podcast and the amazing guests she has are not only factual, informative and oh so educational but have made me step back and realize what I personally can do to help save our Democracy and yet be able to deal with the rough road ahead. Yes it will be, but it’s far from the end. From Churchill to Wyatt Earp these things have been going on, we are just in a new era of fight and not flight! Thank you for the hope snd knows this program has given me so that I may now step out of sadness to bring out that Italian girl who welcomes a good fight for what she believes in and shall never waiver from. This program has given me that courage and fire again! Thank you all!!

Leigh McGowan gets the moment we are in, David Rothkopf does not. Rothkopf doesn’t get the big picture, therefore this interview was useless. DEMOCRATS MUST PLEASE PULL THEMSELVES TOGETHER AND REACT FASTER!!! Nancy Pelosi isn’t too old to do her job, she became unfit the moment her husband was attacked. It is one of the most awful things to come out of the right-wing hate machine, but it’s done now and it broke Nancy in a way that makes it impossible for her to serve. Stop reducing this down to ‘she is old’. If you misdiagnose the problems, you are never going to find the solutions. We need AOC to fill that role now and we need Nancy to either help or to get out of the way. Also, The Courts & Republican Senators: The Courts WILL NOT stop Trump, the only thing they can do is be used to slow him down. The Senators will capitulate. No one nominee matters, the only thing the Dems can do is expose the absurdity during the hearings, with the questions, get it all on record, then vote “present” for each nominee. Don’t vote yeah or neigh. This is Republican mess, we must leave them to it

This podcast is giving me hope and inspiring me to find ways to resist

Love all of Leigh’s podcasts and the interview with Andrea Chalupa was amazing. I’ve felt down and angry and without hope for the past month but the information she shared was inspiring and filled me with hope for what we can do moving forward.

Leigh lays it down every time and has great guests. She’s a thoughtful, genuine truth teller and a great human being,

Leigh, thank you so much for Encouraging, Challenging & sometimes Sharing with us the Difficult Truth! Since the election, it’s been difficult to get up each day & continue to have Hope for America. It’s been difficult to see that we’re making a difference! So, I sincerely appreciated “Hope in the Dark” episode! Thank you!

This podcast is Poweful❣️I am Grateful to you for sharing yourself and your courage 🙏🏾✨🙏🏾

LOVE this podcast. Leah is passionate, speaks truth and it is feels EMPOWERING and INSPIRING. Thank you Leah for your passion and bringing this podcast alive!

Loved your speech. You are right on the money!

In 2016 I read Thomas Jefferson’s explanation of a main responsibility of the electoral college: it is NOT to simple repeat what’s been done. Jefferson stressed that the college must prevent a demigod, even backed the public, from ever being allowed into the Office of President. They are the last safe guard against a dictatorship taking over America according to Jefferson. Why isn’t anyone currently in charge making sure this is done, taking it the Supreme Court (don’t laugh) if necessary.

I love your podcast, and agree with your sentiments entirely. I, too, am deeply concerned with the direction our country has taken. I’m a 76 yo veteran, worked as a court reporter for 35 years so I suppose you could consider me “deep state” whatever that means. I wonder if we’ll have midterm elections? I think the detention centers are for democrats, not immigrants. They will be called reeducation camps. Carry your birth certificate, I’m carrying a copy of my DD-214 (discharge papers). I’m forging a republican voter registration card. Making up a MAGA club and forging a membership card to said club. Don’r carry a gun. I hope we don’t have a bloody civil war. We have to fight back. If we capitulate, the trumpers will kill us.

Obviously most people know you are a liar. Just Another limousine liberal who think she knows better than the most people. Nice grift lady. You lost the election and the only people who listen to this are either not real bots fake reviews or not sane. Go away.

It’s always a huge red flag when somebody can’t say one negative thing about their side, listen to independent thinkers who hold both sides to account not just party mouth pieces

I look forward to Leigh’s podcast every week - one of the few I follow consistently. I have learned so much and am so grateful for how she shows up and educates us about what is going on. I also find her “rants” very validating, when my mind is just boggled and outraged. Her values of compassion, justice, truth shine. So glad I have her to listen to in this trying time.

I just started listening to this podcast a couple of months before the 2024 presidential election. I am so impressed with Leigh McGowan’s passion and her deeply analytical analysis of contemporary politics. She doesn’t use theatrics and fear mongering as persuasion; rather, she states pleasant and unpleasant facts. Based on facts, the listener needs to make a personal decision on how important our country’s democratic institutions are, and what you are willing to do to value and protect them going forward. This is an absolutely crucial time in American politics where authoritarianism is on the rise domestically and globally. We need to act and not just lament about the state of political affairs. Thank you for being a beacon of light, reason and rationality, Leigh! Bravo!

Trust HC Richardson. She is a scholar of American history. Believe her warnings because, as she said, not only is our democracy on the line, the world’s political future is at risk if the radical right wing autocrats take the presidency and our government.

Leigh is awesome! She’s just what we need to keep us informed and engaged. I look forward to PG every Tuesday.
