@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. @qondintini: All the critiques about VP Kamala Harris not doing “serious interviews” miss how this convo, on “Call Her Daddy” on VP using the government to rectify the power imbalance of abuse/ control, is better than the gotcha “serious journalist” interviews [video]

@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. @amy_siskind: It dropped! Harris interviewed on most popular podcast for women, Call Her Daddy. She's also doing the View, 60 Minutes, Howard Stern and more this week. LFG!!! 🩵💙 https://podcasts.apple.com/...
