About XXceedingly Persuasive

Formerly XXceedingly Persuasive, episodes 1 through 50! In XXP, Mackenzie Joy Brennan (Court Attorney for the NY Supreme Court) and Brooke Rogers (politics writer) tackle the fearsome world of law and policy one issue at a time. XXceedingly Persuasive offers nuanced analyses in digestible doses-- adding the cultural, historical and political context to current issues. As young women from different backgrounds and fields, Mackenzie and Brooke show that these issues can be hashed out in a way that feels like a chat with friends: with an eye toward reason, an openness to learning and one or three Michelob Ultra(s)™️.
