My favorite podcast! I love watching the show on YouTube and getting the FULL feel of the conversation and seeing everyone’s faces and reactions. Most of the guests are regulars so you get to know them so it’s like catching up and then there’s Meghan and Miranda who make the news like a good time friends brunch or something. They always find a way to know the vibe if it’s time to laugh or be serious, I love them. I have a toddler and a newborn and it’s some of the only time it feels like I have grown ups talking to me ❤️

marie.vaughn.4 · Feb 2026

I love this podcast! Meghan and Miranda are great and relatable. The topics are a mix of pop culture, current events, and politics- I enjoy listening to all different perspectives from the hosts, to the guests, to the listeners. Keep it up- great show!

Kbuggs82 · Dec 2025

This is my favorite political podcast. I’m a conservative millennial mom, same age as Meghan, interests and views align. It’s the only place to listen to real conservative views by a thoughtful woman that aren’t tainted by unmoored populism and MAGA. Great guests and great conversation. This and Mark Halperin’s Two Way keep politics in perspective. I understand Meghan and Miranda are old friends, but Miranda’s post-election behavior and thoughts were just absurd. She unfortunately either can’t keep up with Meghan or doesn’t do the work to keep up, and that’s the only downside to this show.

Conservative Boy Mom Esq. · Dec 2024

This used to be my favorite podcast but it’s not what it used to be, even just a few months ago. Meghan gets a fantastic lineup of guests and her knowledge and insider expertise shines through in her questions and discussions. But I’ve noticed that the quality is slipping. Her producer Miranda has been featured too much recently. Miranda whines constantly and doesn’t seem well informed or educated on the issues. I end up skipping when she’s on. They also seem to take a lot of hiatuses, which isn’t going to help them build momentum.

bloomies1289 · Dec 2024

I am a centrist who appreciated the reasonable conversations when this podcast started out but it has become totally spineless, unwilling to say anything negative about this administration. I have only listened in the past because I felt it was honest and not absurdly partisan like so many outlets on both sides of the aisle are. Maybe they are doing this to try to gain followers. I don’t know but it’s sad and it’s complicit in some of the disgraceful things happening in our gov’t right now. Don’t waste your time if you are trying to get information that isn’t heavily spun. If she ever decides to be honest again, I’ll come back.

Honestly# · Dec 2025

I have been listening for quite some time. As an independent that leans left, I really enjoyed hearing both sides. I don’t agree with a lot of Meghan’s views but thought she did a great job of trying to see both sides and welcoming guests of different ideology. Of late, since the show moved to a partnership that I know was necessary, it’s becoming less and less bipartisan. Miranda barely gets to speak anymore and all the guests of late seem to be very pro-maga. Since the assassination of Charlie Kirk, it now seems even less open to opposing views and has become very condemning of anyone who doesn’t agree with ultra-conservative religious beliefs. Maybe Meghan has just now become part of the right that I can’t listen to, but I sorely miss what this show was before.
