Vibes Only, Season 2: The news, the stakes, the fight for democracy — and yes, the vibes. 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 Season 2 are available on Thursdays wherever you get your podcasts.

Trump’s threats to send the National Guard to cities like Portland would be funny if they weren’t terrifying. This week, Glennis and Brian discuss what this means for the future of the Democratic movement and why we can’t back down.

In the final episode of Vibes Only, Brian and Glennis look back at some of the most consequential moments of the 2024 election cycle. In a truly unprecedented year, so much happened in a short time - so it's easy to forget the many many things that would've been unusual in any other election year. 

They also respond to the many many messages of support you shared last week and reflect on what it's meant to s...

Tuesday was obviously not the good vibe so many of us were hoping for. We're here now just to talk a little bit about it... Not to get to ahead of ourselves and examine what went wrong - just to check in and talk briefly about what's next.

Donald Trump is closing with the message that he knows best. His campaign crescendoed this week with a dark, racist, hate-filled rally at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Meanwhile, Kamala Harris continues to barnstorm battleground states, and on Tuesday night, she drew a sharp contrast by giving an inspiring speech in Washington DC - at the same location Trump gave his infamous January 6th speech. We dive into the messages ...

Whether it's Harris barely up, or so-called movement that suggests Trump gaining ground, the polls have consistently said the same thing... This election is going to be close. Still, the media will follow the horse race closely and look for any signs that point to "trouble" for Harris. 

That's why we're here to keep you grounded in what matters: turnout and persuading the undecided voters in swing ...

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

We check in on the vibes of the Vice Presidential debate between Governor Tim Walz and Ohio Senator JD Vance. Rachel Maddow may have said it best when she said, "one was smooth, the other won." 

That's because, while to some, JD Vance came off as smooth - he lied about a number of issues including on immigration, healthcare, climate and energy. He also failed to definitively say that he'd honor the resu...

If you're feeling  a disconnect between the vibes and the polls, this episode is for you. Brian and Glennis share stories from their door-knocking experience in a Pennsylvania swing district, and give some important updates from the key battleground states that will ultimately decide this election.

Donald Trump has been going way off his advisors' scripts - going all in on personal attacks and promoting content one would expect to find only in the darkest corners of the internet. And on reproductive rights, he's struggling to even find the right script. 

This week, we discuss Trump's recent unhinged behavior both on and offline as well as how Harris handled her much-hyped CNN interview.
