Vibes Only

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.
