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","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-politicsgirl-podcast-4482934"},"episode":{"title":"Is the News Killing You? : A Conversation with Michael Steele","slug":"is-the-news-killing-you-a-conversation-with-michael-steele","published_at":"2026-03-17T07:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-politicsgirl-podcast-4482934/is-the-news-killing-you-a-conversation-with-michael-steele","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-politicsgirl-podcast-4482934","url":"https://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/pdst.fm/e/pscrb.fm/rss/p/mgln.ai/e/1058/claritaspod.com/measure/traffic.megaphone.fm/MTH7998034605.mp3","audio_url":"https://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/pdst.fm/e/pscrb.fm/rss/p/mgln.ai/e/1058/claritaspod.com/measure/traffic.megaphone.fm/MTH7998034605.mp3","summary":"If you’re paying attention right now you know America is off the rails.
