@nancytwinmama: Wild to say, but the Call Her Daddy interview was the most meaningful I've heard from a politician ever. For once, women & women's issues were centered. DV, child care, health care, abortion, economic freedom for women, all spoken in depth & w/o interruption. Excellent interview.

@morgan_murphy: Call Her Daddy is arguably Kamala's biggest “show” to date. Just because a podcast isn't your thing doesn't mean it hasn't spent years surpassing your thing in popularity. Twitter has long been behind on media # shifts over the past decade & is perpetually surprised as a result.
