Podcasts by Hot Mics From Left To Right
Go behind the scenes with two of CNN’s leading commentators and fan favorites
as they discuss what they didn’t have time to get on air but is badly needed
conversation at an unprecedented time of partisanship and politics. Alice
Stewart and Maria Cardona have a unique ability to bring hot topics of
conversation to the fore, with respect, civility and intellectual honesty. Each
week, the “Hot Mics from Left to Right” duo will discuss the intersection of politics
and culture to give listeners a better understanding of where and how they have
come to their beliefs, offering a much needed view of a deeper perspective on
lifestyle and values and how they impact politics. Hot Mics will wrap with some
warm words of inspiration.
