Progressive women are fed up & fighting back (feat. IHIP News)

Political podcasting is said to be a men's game (and predominantly conservative). But two women stood up and said "I've had it!" Now they are revolutionizing political commentary in America.The hosts of the ‘I’ve Had It’ podcast: Jennifer Welch, a lifelong atheist, and Angie “Pumps” Sullivan, a former evangelical conservative, started their podcast to air petty grievances. But, as American politics got heated so did their podcast. Wine jokes became unfiltered takedowns of both Democrats and Republicans. In the process, they gained millions of followers and changed how the progressive media system works. And there's no slowing them down. Host Brittany Luse sits down with Jennifer and Angie to talk about the power women have for shaping politics, why women just can't let go of Trump, and how Democrats can actually listen to progressive women.(00:00) IHIP's success as an indictment of the Democratic party (03:16) Jennifer and Angie's personal political journey (10:30) White women leaving the right (15:11) Jennifer's journey to progressivism (20:45) Why IHIP's unfiltered approach resonates (25:00) Why Democrats like Jack Schlossberg seek out IHIP's platform (30:28) The importance of women's voices ahead of the midterms (35:03) Why we should pay attention to how women do their politicsSupport Public Media. Join NPR Plus.Follow Brittany on Instagram: @bmluseFor handpicked podcast recommendations every week, subscribe to NPR’s Pod Club newsletter at npr.org/podclub.See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy
