Few political commentators today can claim to be non-partisan. Tezlyn Figaro is one of the rare pundits who make that list. Straight Shot, No Chaser with Tezlyn Figaro sees her hosting a weekly podcast. As the title implies, Figaro never holds back her opinion on a given story.

Tezlyn Figaro is a political commentator and communications consultant. She worked with Bernie Sanders as national racial justice director for his 2016 presidential campaign. She also served as a policy consultant for Benjamin Crump during the George Floyd trial. Her work during that time has led to her consulting with the attorney on multiple other cases. Figaro also works for The Breakfast Club morning radio show. Host Charlamagne Tha God from that show produces this podcast.

Straight Shot, No Chaser with Tezlyn Figaro has a simple format. This podcast sees Figaro and her guest discussing current news stories. Despite having worked with Sanders, Figaro doesn't affiliate herself with any one party. Instead, her opinions come from being a Black woman living in the US. Many of her positions relay a sincere desire to advocate for Black people in America.

Figaro can come across as blunt, but her points are usually valid and justified. She has a strong sense of sincerity and passion for racial justice.

On each episode of the podcast, Figaro interviews a new guest. Previous guests of the podcast include Flint Councilman Eric Mays. In that episode, the two discuss the shameful legacy of the Flint water crisis. On occasion, she will devote multiple episodes to one topic. A five-part series has been focusing on the presidential campaign of Dr. Cornel West. The show also has dating topics, like the "Would You Date a Bus Driver" episode. Eboni K. Williams, who had a snappy answer to that question, guests on the show.

New episodes of the Straight Shot, No Chaser with Tezlyn Figaro podcast premiere weekly on Thursdays. Episodes vary from 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the topic.
