Sane(ish) with Jo Carducci
Introducing "Sane(ish)" with JoJoFromJerz, where social media sensation and political firebrand Jo Carducci brings her signature sass, snark, and incisive analysis to a new series. Sane(ish) has all the righteous indignation that made her a Twitter phenomenon while adding more personality to politics. With an unmistakable Jersey directness and zero tolerance for artificial balance, Jo dissects everything from constitutional crises to cultural flashpoints, alongside thoughtful guests who provide depth and perspective. Our politics may be insane, but we don't have to be.
