Listener sentiment
Recent ratings remain overwhelmingly positive and intensely loyal, with the core audience — self-described progressives and "blue dots" in red states — flooding the reviews around the November 2026 election with voting updates, gratitude, and praise for hosts Jennifer Welch and Angie Sullivan, recurring legal contributor Josh, well-received guests like Chelsea Handler and Don Lemon, and Welch's new book. Listeners describe the show as a daily lifeline: well-sourced political news delivered with cathartic, irreverent humor that keeps hope alive in dark times, and many pushed back on hapless-seeming Democratic leadership alongside the hosts. Criticism is scattered and mostly about form: intrusive, values-incongruent ad reads (gambling, fast fashion, AI, even a Fox News spot), clickbait episode titles, guest-dominated episodes that crowd out the main hosts or are perceived as too male-heavy, and a wish for less Trump coverage and more Democratic strategy. The few one-star reviews come almost entirely from ideological opponents objecting to the show's premise. Sentiment is essentially unchanged from the prior window: a devoted, mobilized audience with only minor format and advertising gripes.
