A weekly podcast where the dark, and sometimes weird, true stories in American politics are discussed.
The Muck Podcast is an incredibly captivating and unique listen that seamlessly combines true crime with the murky world of American politics. Hosted by Tina and Hillary, the podcast showcases their exceptional storytelling abilities that keep listeners engaged from start to finish. It is not only an entertaining podcast, but also a stark reminder of the importance of thoroughly educating ourselves about the individuals we elect into office, from local positions to the Office of the President. The hosts' ability to merge humor with serious subject matter is commendable and adds an extra layer of enjoyment to each episode.
One of the best aspects of The Muck Podcast is how it demonstrates that true crime doesn't have to solely focus on gore and violence to be compelling. Through exploring day-to-day happenings in local and state governments, Tina and Hillary prove that these stories can be just as fascinating as any crime committed by a psychopathic killer. Their ability to find captivating stories within the world of politics is impressive and keeps listeners coming back for more.
Another standout aspect of this podcast is Tina and Hillary's chemistry as hosts. Their banter and camaraderie add an extra layer of enjoyment to each episode, making it feel like a conversation between friends rather than a scripted show. This dynamic between the hosts further enhances the storytelling experience and makes it feel personal.
However, one potential downside to The Muck Podcast is its focus solely on American politics. While this may be understandable given that it focuses on scandals within US government systems, it may limit its appeal to those outside of America who may not be familiar with or as interested in American politics.
In conclusion, The Muck Podcast is an absolute gem for anyone interested in true crime or American politics. Tina and Hillary's storytelling abilities are exceptional, creating an engaging listening experience from beginning to end. Their unique blend of humor, entertainment, and news sets this podcast apart from others in both genres. The chemistry between the hosts adds a personal touch to each episode, making it feel like you're listening in on a conversation between friends. If you're looking for a podcast that will educate, entertain, and keep you wanting more, look no further than The Muck Podcast.

We hope you enjoy this rerelease of one of our favorite episodes: Episode 123. Originally released on May 11, 2022, you will hear us discuss abortion in the United States before and after the landmark 1973 Supreme Court decision of Roe v. Wade. Hillary and Tina cover Roe vs. Wade and the history of abortion in America. Hillary's Story Throughout the early history of America, abortion was permitted. BUT when women began to seek more rights, more restriction on abortion gets enacted. Tina's Story Roe vs. Wade made a woman's right to choose a private issue and ensured safe access to abortion. BUT despite that republican law makers have fought to restrict abortion access in America.
