Political Breakdown

Political Breakdown
Welcome to 'Political Breakdown', a hot-podium hosted by two political nerds who traded their reading lamps for mics with the aim to decode the ironically colorful world of politics. Scott Shafer and Marisa Lagos are your saviors from political jargon, making ABCs out of government bills and candidly interviewing political figures. Their target? All you housewives to CEO's, simply anyone with a tickle for politics. Their content? A sizzling potpourri of policy chats, bipartisan talk, and the occasional bout of political gossip (guilty pleasure, anyone?). Ever wondered what ignited Trump's latest tweet or why Biden adores aviators? Don't worry, our dynamic duo's got you covered. 'Political Breakdown'- politics served hotter than your morning cuppa Joe!
