Who is
Kitchen Politics 123?
It features discussions on various political strategies and their impacts on everyday Americans, with a liberal/progressive slant. The hosts dissect Republican philosophies, policies, and talking points, while also addressing a variety of contemporary political issues with a dash of pop culture and how it affects American politics.
The format of Kitchen Politics 123 is designed to simulate the feel of a casual conversation, akin to sitting around a kitchen table or in a sports bar, engaging in honest debates about current politics. The show airs multiple times a week, on Blog Talk Radio (and later on Podbean Podcast) and listeners can call in to participate in the discussions.
