Mean But True with Suzanne Lambert
If you have nothing nice to say, you can sit with us. Suzanne Lambert, the "Regina George liberal," presents Mean But True —an unapologetically irreverent and lighthearted podcast that explores pop culture, current events, and the politics that shape our everyday lives. Strong opinions about inconsequential (and otherwise) topics are encouraged. Do you have something mean but true you need to get off your chest? Put it in the book—and on the pod.
