Join us on the Lean to the Left Podcast as we engage in a compelling conversation with two dynamic guests, Tony Nagy and Sarah Buckner, also known as Sarafina Supernova, known as the Gnarly Girls.


These talented stand-up comedians, podcasters, dancers, and artists discuss their extensive creative endeavors, including their Gnarly Girls Podcast and touring show, Grape Culture.


In this episode, Tony and Sarah explore themes like intergenerational conversations, the importance of cross-cultural references, and the current state of American politics, which they believe is abysmal.


They also discuss controversial topics like (g)rape culture, systemic issues in the U.S., and conspiracy theories surrounding child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.


The conversation takes a turn towards the intersection of comedy and tragic realities, where the duo sheds light on how their personal experiences inform their work. Both describe the extent to which they have been sexually assaulted.


If you're interested in feminism, political satire, and the power dynamics that shape our societies, this episode is for you.
