How To Spot BS — with Jennifer Welch from "I've Had It"

How To Spot BS — with Jennifer Welch from "I've Had It"

Author: Sony Music Entertainment / Jonathan Van Ness November 26, 2025 Duration: 52:01
Today, we’re refining our BS reader with one the BEST in the biz - Jennifer Welch - from “I’ve Had It”!  Together, JVN and Jennifer dive into how to hold people accountable, discern the news we’re watching,  and call out hypocrisy in both everyday life and in U.S. politics. Jennifer leads by example how we can practice accountability at home, in friendships, on social media, and with our elected leaders — without losing our joy or our sense of humor. Jennifer Welch is a designer and cohost of the hit podcast “I’ve Had It” and “IHIP News,” where she and her best friend Angie “Pumps” Sullivan say what so many of us are thinking about politics, culture, and everyday nonsense. I’ve Had It has turned into a viral space where elected officials get pressed on their choices, not their talking points. Jen has marched for justice — including the No Kings Rally this past June in Oklahoma City where she and JVN marched together.
