Hosted by Jamie Peck and Sam Beard, Party Girls is a conversation that blends sharp political analysis with the intimate, connective tissue of gossip. Jamie, known for her work on The Majority Report and other leftist commentary, teams up with Sam, a Chicago-based organizer, to create a space where theory meets the messy reality of daily life. The discussions here aren't dry lectures; they're lively, often funny, and deeply human, weaving together perspectives from news, music, and culture through a specific lens. You'll hear them dissect current events and political structures with the same earnest curiosity they apply to sharing stories and personal reflections. This podcast operates on the idea that the personal is political and the political can be surprisingly personal, finding the threads of collective struggle and joy in unexpected places. It’s a mix of thoughtful critique and casual, comedic rapport that makes complex ideas feel accessible and urgent. Tune in for a unique fusion of perspectives that challenges how we think about community, power, and the stories we tell each other.
