    Ivy Insights

    The unDivided with Brandi Kruse podcast is a breath of fresh air in the world of political commentary. Brandi's coverage of Washington state's politics on her show The Divide has garnered praise from viewers, and her decision to go independent only adds to her credibility as she refuses to be constrained by pre-written scripts or dictums. As a listener, I am grateful for journalists like Brandi who provide honest and insightful coverage that restores my faith in the field. Her common sense approach to reporting and commentary enlightens me on what's happening in my state, from criticisms about Seattle to analysis of the governor and the state legislature. I appreciate how Brandi embodies "people before party" and inspires other journalists to prioritize common sense over partisanship.

    One of the best aspects of The unDivided with Brandi Kruse podcast is Brandi's ability to blend serious news with a touch of humor. She selects an excellent mix of topics and brings on interesting guests for interviews. Her choice of topics keeps me engaged, and I enjoy hearing from people who have unique perspectives on various issues. Additionally, Brandi's attitude and approach are refreshing. She presents the facts without bias or allegiance to any particular party, making her a trustworthy source for information.

    While it may be difficult to find any notable shortcomings in this podcast, one possible downside is that some listeners may prefer more in-depth analysis on certain topics. As a journalist who aims for fairness and objectivity, Brandi may not delve too deeply into specific subjects or offer overly opinionated commentary. However, this can also be seen as a positive aspect for those seeking unbiased reporting.

    In conclusion, The unDivided with Brandi Kruse podcast is an outstanding resource for those interested in Washington state politics and beyond. Brandi's dedication to truthful reporting shines through her work, whether she was at Fox13 Seattle or now as an independent journalist. Her ability to present unvarnished facts without succumbing to media spin is commendable, and her refreshing perspective on the issues of the day sets her apart from other commentators. I highly recommend subscribing to this podcast and enjoying Brandi's insightful coverage while sipping a glass of Sparkling Rosé.
