My name is Leah and I’m a barista, a skater, and the host of Topicality- a broadcast that covers everything from pop culture to politics. If you’ve been craving a different perspective on current events than what you get from legacy media outlets, Topicality might be the show for you! I occasionally feature a variety of guests from friends to city council members to bring you unique and in depth conversations. If you need a side of silliness to chase the hard stuff then tune in every Thursday at 1 PM to Topicality

About
Today I launched a new segment where I go talk to people about politics and report back everything I hear and learn.

I spoke about the Memorandum of Understanding and compared it to Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. […]

Fact Check: On the Topicality broadcast on 04/02/2026 I implied Obama was the president in 2006. I meant to say Bush as his term was from 2001-2009, while Obama’s term was from 2009-2017. This fact check is courtesy of your host, Leah James. đ
