Saron Things

Pop culture. Politics. No pandering. Each week, Saron Things dives into Bravo chaos, celebrity gossip, true crime, democracy, and the slow, embarrassing death of traditional media. Hosted by pop culture aficionado and Democratic strategist Saron Olkaba, it’s smart, unhinged, and allergic to groupthink—like if Page Six and MSNBC had a martini and raised her to be a mouthy broad. Failed the leftist purity test or think the GOP’s giving cult? You’re home.
