How two blonde suburban moms gave Democrats an answer to the rightwing media ecosystem
"When Donald Trump scheduled a press conference after a weekend in which rumors about his health swirled, two women in red-state Oklahoma launched a livestream for their more than 1 million followers on YouTube to speculate about the condition of Cankles McTacoTits, shortened to Canks for expediency and spite. It was fitting for the profanity-laced, straight talking liberal podcast I've Had It that quipped, after interviewing Barack Obama, that the former president has big dick energy."
"In Oklahoma City, in the upstairs of Welch's design studio, the self-described two middle-aged women in the buckle of the bible belt trying to stand up for democracy pivot between recording their podcast in early September, that meant interviewing the mayor of Los Angeles, promoting their new co-authored book, and catching up on life like the old friends they are."
Jennifer Welch and Angie Sullivan host the profanity-laced, straight-talking podcast I've Had It from Oklahoma City and have built a national audience across YouTube and Instagram. They launched livestreams responding to national political moments, using irreverent nicknames and sharp commentary. The podcast mixes high-profile interviews, promotional work for a co-authored book, and candid personal conversation about family and everyday life. The hosts position themselves as a left-wing media alternative, attracting Democrats seeking catharsis and a counter to rightwing media. The show charts highly on podcast and YouTube rankings and continues rapid growth.
