MeidasTouch Launches New “The Politics Girl” Podcast
Media Company Unveils New Podcast “The PoliticsGirl Podcast” Featuring Viral Sensation Leigh McGowan
LOS ANGELES, CA — On the heels of MeidasTouch, a leading pro-democracy media network and Super PAC, launching the viral hit comedy movie “The Supporters”, the media company today launched a new hit podcast “The PoliticsGirl Podcast” featuring viral sensation Leigh McGowan, known to her over 600,000 followers as PoliticsGirl. The new podcast immediately skyrocketed to the top of the podcast charts, launching as the #3 news podcast in the United States, surpassing far-right programs such as Steve Bannon’s War Room and The Dan Bongino Show.
McGowan rose to prominence as a leading voice of pro-democracy messaging through her series of ‘Breakfast Rants,’ in which she takes on hot button topics directly from her kitchen. In launching the new podcast, McGowan released the following statement:
“After a year of ranting in my kitchen, I’m thrilled to announce the launch of The PoliticsGirl Podcast. This country is in trouble. Let’s find a way to fix it. SUBSCRIBE anywhere you get your podcasts. New episodes drop every Tuesday. Let’s do this!”
Just last week, NBC host Brian Williams highlighted McGowan on his show 11th Hour with Brian Williams, saying:
“There’s this woman who calls herself PoliticsGirl. She makes videos from her kitchen aimed at helping the Democrats. She has a big following because of it. And in these videos, she routinely makes a better case for the Democrats than the Democrats themselves.”
While McGowan will continue her Breakfast Rant series, The PoliticsGirl Podcast will allow her to amplify her message to an even broader audience while digging deeper into the most pressing problems facing America. The podcast description explains:
American Democracy is not promised to us and, with all the forces working against it, saving it will take a level of work most people aren’t ready for. The Politics Girl Podcast is here to give people a reason to care and a reason to fight. Our goal is to inspire. To instill in people a true understanding of what this country COULD be, if the right people were fighting for it, and what it WILL be if they don’t. It’s a political podcast yes, but more than that, it’s a podcast about America’s potential, where one passionate, and slightly mouthy, immigrant attempts to motivate the country to become what it promised to be but, so far, has yet to become. You’ll leave more knowledgeable, more engaged, and more sure that you, personally, can make a difference to the future of American democracy. Everyone’s got a little time for that right? Subscribe for new episodes every Tuesday. We’re in a fight for our country. We sure as hell better know what we’re fighting for. Xo
In addition to immediately becoming one of the most listened to podcasts in the nation, The PoliticsGirl Podcast quickly found high-profile fans. Maria Shriver tweeted, “Bravo. This is great. You go girl. Tell us straight, tell it every week. We will be listening. I’m excited.” The podcast trailer quickly racked up over 547,000 views on Twitter alone and more than 23.2K likes.
