Live @ Much Different in BK

PoliTea is an unfiltered, culturally relevant, political news and social commentary podcast. Join Ify and Turquoise while getting ready for work and enjoy your cup of sugar-free political tea.

It’s fresh take. I listen to all the regulars: The Daily, Up First, NPR politics, Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me, Call Your Girlfriend, It’s Been a Minute, and Keep It. 

Add this to your list. It’s a different perspective — a necessary perspective. 

They delve into popular culture, of course, which is a nice break from the harsh reality of today’s news. But they don’t ignore today’s news. They delve in. 

The dynamic between the two works, and In excited to see what this grows into. 

Oh and they’re black.

Thorough. Informed. Yet still entertaining.

I am new to this podcast, but have fallen instantly in love with Ify and Turquoise. What prompted me to write a review, however, is that I am a civil rights lawyer in Washington state and was elated to hear them mention one our state Supreme Court’s recent rulings! Turns out that they read the Seattle Times. ☺️

Thank you wonderful WOC for the conversation you are fueling and for recognizing the work being done across our whole nation!

Inclusive discussion covering nationwide news and issues!
