The “Um, Sir” Podcast is where civic education meets sass, and democracy gets a much-needed reality check. One hot take at a time. Hosted by Emily in Everett and her neighbor Samie, this show serves up smart, spicy commentary on politics, pop culture, and the chaos where they collide.

Think of it as your weekly dose of approachable political insight, nervous laughter, and brutally honest observations, with enough side-eye to power a small city. Whether we’re crushing imposter syndrome or calling out bro-gressives, we’re here to make civic life a little more understandable and a lot more fun.

We don’t have all the answers, but we do have jokes, receipts, and the feedback you didn’t know you needed.
