Katie Miller, a prominent figure in the MAGA movement and a loyal supporter of former President Donald Trump, has recently launched her podcast, the “Katie Miller Podcast.” The podcast is part of an effort to bring in more conservative women. It’s the perfect proving ground to start crafting what MAGA 2.0 looks like. This effort is particularly timely, given the changing and growing media ecosystem for conservative-leaning audiences.
Miller was the Trump administration’s principal communications architect in the former president’s first term. He made the jump into full time shill for Elon Musk’s pet venture (because what else are you going to call it) in the “Department of Government Efficiency,” aka Doge. Her connections to influential figures in both politics and technology solidify her status as a significant player in conservative circles.
Katie Miller is married to Stephen Miller, the former chief advisor to Donald Trump infamous for his white nationalist ideology. She has shot to national prominence as one of the leading voices in the MAGA community. Her podcast, focused on conservative women, is filling a huge void in the media landscape. It emboldens them to go deeper with conversations that are more reflective of who they are and what they value.
The first episode of the new “Katie Miller Podcast” was 44 minutes long and featured JD Vance. During the episode, Miller presented a series of light-hearted questions, including the famously debated topic: “Is a hotdog a sandwich?” This question is a great example of her mission for the show – to blend playful goofiness with discussions of heavy topics.
Katie Miller’s dreams for her little podcast are big. She has expressed a desire to create a space where conservative women can gather, stating that “there isn’t a place for conservative women to gather online.” Her aim is more than just fun. She envisions the podcast as one more tool in her arsenal to recruit newly engaged voters ahead of the 2028 elections.
“In order to cultivate the future of MAGA, we have to talk to women.” – Katie Miller
This announcement further highlights her desire to be a force of good for elevating female voices in the world of conservatism. As she navigates through various topics on her show, she emphasizes the need for more platforms dedicated to women like herself—mothers who balance family life with professional commitments.
Miller’s culinary conservatism is just one part of a much broader expansion of media for conservatives and right-leaning audiences. Her podcast is part of a burgeoning, and often vicious, “womanosphere” of anti-feminist media targeting conservative audiences. This feminist movement represents a turn from conventional feminist narratives. Rather, it doubles-down on the empowering discourse that these women perceive to exist within their ideological bubble.
Even by the standards of her polarizing career, Katie Miller’s brilliance at inciting outrage has been astounding. In particular, when she was in university, she drew the ire of conservative students when she stole and disposed of student newspapers that endorsed liberal candidates. This confrontation proved prophetic, as it set the stage for her present day role as an incendiary political media jackass.
While her podcast’s style may lean towards soft questions that invite discussion rather than challenge guests, it serves a purpose within its intended audience. Miller opens with apparently absurd questions – Is a hotdog a sandwich? – for the sake of intrigue. He wants to invite an audience of listeners in his own relatable, conversational, and accessible way.
Katie Miller’s advocacy through the double microphone is particularly inspiring. Her recent collaborations with Elon Musk’s companies as an adviser and consultant make her résumé even more intriguing. Earlier this year, she made the jump from communications-heavy high-profile government roles to help steer the communications strategy for Musk’s efforts at his private companies. Her work with very influential people demonstrates her skill of getting in the room with very powerful people. She’s a formidable force who deftly works the political and business angles.
Miller’s approach mirrors the vibes among popular conservative influencers like awake.bro. Brett Cooper, one of the loudest new voices in the conservative movement, just made an excellent point about female empowerment. She argued that the movement employs tactics such as enraging men and supplanting them. Conservative women are redefining assertiveness as they pursue their goals. For many of them, it is about re-establishing their role within the larger political conversation.
In her own words:
“As a mom of three young kids, who eats healthy, goes to the gym, works full-time, I know there isn’t a podcast for women like myself.” – Katie Miller
Her efforts may inspire other conservative women seeking representation in media while serving as a clarion call for participation in political activities.
