'Raising McCain': Not Your Mother's Talk Show
Meghan McCain comes by her maverick credentials honestly. As the daughter of Arizona Sen. John McCain, she is no stranger to the political limelight. But that doesn't mean she always agrees with her dad or Republican political orthodoxy.
It's that unique perspective that is at the center of her new television show, Raising McCain. The newly launched Pivot network describes the program as a hybrid "docu-talk" show. Each episode features a different co-host and is filmed in a documentary style. But don't expect crying on couches or gift baskets under the seat. She's tackling topics like feminism; lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender rights; and young people in the military with an eye on her millennial target audience.
McCain sat down with Tell Me More host Michel Martin to talk about Raising McCain and offer some thoughts on the current government stalemate.
