“What a week” – us after dropping this week’s Top Stories episode of Girl and the Gov, The Podcast. It’s only Tuesday and this week is off to the races with political and media news that’s left our jaws on the floor. No, seriously – what’s in the water – mercury, is that you… in retrograde? Okay, jokes aside, the top political stories to know, follow, and tell every person within a 100 mile radius of you [or further, whatever], that made it into Top Stories include:

• Media Mayhem:

  • Toodles Tucker [Carlson]: What happened, where the leading conspiracy theorist and radical rhetoric spewer will go next

  • Droppin’ Don Like It’s Hot: The backstory of Don [Lemon]’s departure, how it went down, the timing of it all

• New SCOTUS Case to Watch: SCOTUS takes on a social media case with a dash of free speech and drop of Trump

• The NAACP Sues Mississippi Over Jim Crow Bills: The bills, the impact, the impending governor’s race

PS if you’re new to the Girl and the Gov® crew, let’s play a quick game of catch up.

These episodes are audio-only, and can be listened to via Spotify Podcasts, Apple Podcasts, and all of your favorite podcast listening apps. Occasionally, there’s a glimpse of the sauce in the making, like here:
