The Weekly Cheek

Hannah Ferguson, Kristin Perissinotto
The Weekly Cheek features co-hosts Hannah Ferguson and Kristin Perissinotto chatting about politics, the things politics influences, and the things that influence politics. The Weekly Cheek aims to make politics more accessible by breaking down purposefully confusing systems, critiquing the media outlets that report irresponsibly, and discussing the issues that we should all be talking about. We’ve covered prominent women in politics, the mental load, the failings of women’s media, and the importance of transparency in the pursuit of progress.
