The Daily Beans is a women-owned and operated progressive news podcast for your morning commute brought to you by the Webby award-winning host of Mueller, She Wrote, Allison Gill, and comedian/fund-raiser/activist Dana Goldberg.

Allison Gill and Dana Goldberg mix headline rundowns, expert guests, activist calls to action, and a recurring Good News segment, so it feels more like checking in with politically engaged friends than sitting through a dry news bulletin. It is built for listeners who want left-leaning U.S. politics, accountability coverage, and a little snark with their commute.
