Reply Guys is a feminist political comedy podcast brought to you by Julia Claire and Kate Willett, two nice ladies doing socialism. Each week, we are joined by journalists, comedians, leftist candidates for office, and activists to ridicule corporate greed, spineless politicians, online misogynists, and sometimes, boners. We are not Bernie bros but we do make out with them.
