Lean to the Left is a progressive media platform offering political commentary, fact-based news analysis, and expert interviews that expose threats to democracy and hold leaders accountable. Lean to the Left is an independent, evolving media platform. Member benefits will grow and adapt over time. Founded in 2017 as Not Fake News and rebranded in 2021, Lean to the Left brings together the work of journalist and author Bob Gatty and a talented team of contributing writers who deliver sharp, insightful content on the issues affecting Americans today. 

Our podcast—launched as NFN Radio News before becoming The Lean to the Left Podcast—featured weekly interviews with authors, activists, experts, and political insiders, with hard-hitting commentary on the challenges facing our nation. What began as a podcast grew into a community of listeners and readers who care deeply about democracy, accountability, and civic engagement. At its close, the Lean to the Left podcast had reached nearly 850 episodes with a worldwide audience.

A Millennial Looks to the Future

Our guest on the Lean to the Left podcast is a young Millennial, Leesa Danzek, who was an extremely active Republican in California but now is trying to turn a ruby red area of South Carolina blue.

Leesa explains what factors influenced her transformation and what she hopes to accomplish, and along the way has some pointed comments about the Republican Party, its positions on such issues as abortion and racial equality.

She talks about the future and the role she hopes to play in creating a better, more welcoming place for all Americans, regardless of race, age, political persuasion, or sexual orientation.

Leesa is another in a series of guests commemorating Women’s History Month to be featured on the podcast.
