Vibes Only
The polls are broken. The stakes are unprecedented. And the future of democracy, like it or not, hinges on one thing – VIBES. Vibes Only is here to check the vibes of American politics and break down the need-to-know news of the week. And while one of the two major parties in the country has overwhelmingly embraced a right-wing movement whose whole vibe is undermining democracy and social progress, it’s clear we need voices that can meet voters where they are and clearly and effectively call that BS out for what it is.
Co-host Brian Derrick has earned a reputation for his ability to break down political news and define the stakes to his sizable and dedicated social media audience. Co-host Glennis Meagher is a digital media savant who has built platforms to encourage millennials and gen z to engage with politics, some for the first time. Even when the news of the week could easily kill the vibe, Brian and Glennis are like those needed friends that have the unique ability to keep it real AND pull us out of a doom spiral.
New episodes of Vibes Only are available on Wednesdays wherever you get your podcasts.

Is the Media Meeting This Moment?
Vice President Kamala Harris and running mate, Governor Tim Walz, are on a serious media blitz right now - hitting popular podcasts like Call Her Daddy and Smartless as well as mainstream programs like 60 Minutes and The View.
Which of these are giving the campaign the most bang for their buck? And which outlets are giving its audience the most information about who these candidates are? With so much at stake in this election where a qualified candidate is facing a convicted felon who incited an insurrection after losing the 2020 election, is the traditional media adequately meeting this moment?
In this episode, Brian Derrick and Glennis Meagher tackle these questions and more. They also discuss Liz Cheney's endorsement of Harris, Jack Smith's bombshell filing, and Elon Musk's midriff moment.
