Easy to Understand

AG does a wonderful job breaking down complex topics. She takes daily news and digs down a bit deeper to explain. She has great guests on who help explain legal matters and institutional processes. After giving all the daily news and updates, she has good news from listeners, which helps make daily news bearable.

Humor in dark days

I wholeheartedly enjoy the snark and laughs with my increasingly-doomsday-feeling news. I drive an hour each way to get my kiddos to school in the mornings and I gladly fill my coffee cup, throw in an earbud and get caught up on current events while I drive. Daily Beans and I’ve Had It podcast are my daily routine and I love it.

Excellent start to your morning

If you want your news with actual facts but not boring. News with swearing is the way to go. They end every podcast with happy stories. Can not recommend enough.
