Mean But True with Suzanne Lambert is an irreverent, lighthearted podcast about pop culture, current events, and the politics that shape daily life. Host Suzanne Lambert, who calls herself the "Regina George liberal," invites strong opinions on both consequential and trivial topics. Listeners are encouraged to submit their own "mean but true" confessions for the show. The tone is unapologetic and conversational rather than overly serious.
