Rooted in Reality is your go-to for breaking down politics without the B.S. With a background in political science and a real passion for civic engagement, this show brings a fresh perspective to the political conversation — one that bridges the gap between everyday people and the systems that shape our lives. It’s part civics class, part group chat — all rooted in real life. We’ll still tap into pop culture, reality TV, and whatever else is going on, but politics is the main dish. If you’ve ever said, “I don’t do politics,” this show is especially for you.
