    We've moved! Join us on Substack for new episodes.

    Hello, beloved Spice Cabinet members, We have a big announcement: we’re moving to Substack! It’s a wonderful-scary-overwhelming move for us, but we’re really excited to make our new Substack house a home with all of you. We want this move to be easy for you. The Substack team has given us a version of white-glove professional movers! Bailey and Cora, who are real, fun, kind, and highly skilled people, will be with us every step of the way. Alise and Maggie will answer any questions you have. Sarah and Beth are here for you. We’ve got this! PLEASE CANCEL YOUR APPLE SUBSCRIPTION in your Apple account. Here are instructions on how to do that: https://support.apple.com/en-us/108378 If you are a monthly Apple subscriber and we have your email, you will get an email from us shortly with a link to subscribe on Substack. Your first month there will be comped. If you are a monthly Apple subscriber and we do NOT, have your email, please find us on Substack at pantsuitpolitics.substack.com and subscribe there for the same price you've been paying on Apple. If you are an annual Apple subscriber, please send a screenshot of your subscription information to us at hello@pantsuitpoliticsshow.com when you cancel and we will get you comped on Substack for the duration of that subscription you've already paid for. We want this move to be an upgrade for you. For years, we’ve had a wish list of problems, requests, and ideas from you that we haven’t been able to fulfill. Substack has helped us check off our wishlist. You’ll now be able to gift subscriptions. (We repeat - you will now be able to gift subscriptions!!!) You’ll be able to listen to our audio episodes on Spotify (or Apple Podcasts or another player of your choice). Our chats will be smoother and easier. We’ll be able to do more videos. You’ll get More to Say transcripts. We have so many plans to use the Substack tools to enhance what we offer. We need to make this move for the health of our business. Many of you’ve been with us for a long time, and you know that the podcasting industry keeps shifting. The dependable income for our business--the income that allows us to have Alise and Maggie working with us, that pays for our sound engineering and all the research resources we need, that lets us make this work our full-time jobs--comes from listener support. Ad revenue is no longer reliable, and we hate filling our episodes with too many ads (you’ll notice us cutting back in the next few weeks). Moving to Substack lets us commit in an even bigger way to providing the best free and premium experiences available so that we can do our best work for years to come. We want this move to bring this community together. We’ve struggled for years with having tiers of support. We’ve struggled with having some of you on Patreon while others are on Apple Podcasts Subscriptions. We want all of you to have access to everything we make and the opportunity to discuss it with each other. Substack will bring us all under one roof with only two tiers: $15/month or $1100/year. We're offering limited-timed discounts for both of those tiers to ease the transition. If you have any questions or problems, please email us at hello@pantsuitpoliticsshow.com. Thank you, truly, for allowing us to do our life’s work. Thank you for investing in us and in this community. Thank you for trusting us and coming along for our next chapter. -Sarah and Beth

    SOTU Review: Putin's Plans for Moldova

    This week on More to Say, Beth is going to be reflecting on and extrapolating from some of the statements President Biden made in his State of the Union address. Today, she tackles the sentence, "If anybody in this room thinks Putin will stop at Ukraine, I assure you, he will not." She explores the theory that Putin's next target is Moldova and the historical and geographic context that backs that up.

Here's what to know (CNN) Transnistria begs Putin to ‘protect’ it against Moldova (Politico) ‘If Ukraine is not helped, then Russia will not stop,’ warns Moldovan president (CNN)

    2023 Speaking Events!

    One of our favorite parts of our work is getting Sarah and Beth out into new communities. We always learn so much from their time on the road. They speak to just about every type of group you can imagine: corporations, civic groups, faith communities, colleges and universities, political groups, and more. With a presidential cycle looming, we know they will be particularly in demand next year and in 2024. At this point, we only have 8 speaking slots left for 2023. If you are interested in bringing Sarah and Beth to your community, please reach out to Alise (alise@pantsuitpoliticsshow.com) and she will get you the info you need to make this happen!

    Hello, my friends. Today, let’s talk about what’s happening in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. There is no easy way to talk about this. There is nothing simple about it. I think the most important thing to remember is that so many people in this region just want to live a normal life. They didn’t choose this. They have varying degrees of confidence in the leaders who launch rockets and deploy aggressive police forces. I’m picking up today from my 2016 primer on this subject. If you haven’t listened or need a refresher, check it out. If we think of the generations-long struggle in this region as a fire that’s always burning to some degree, there are many factors that are causing it to rage right now, including: Political turmoil in both Israel and Palestine Attempts to evict Palestinians from the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood The presence and aggression of police forces at Temple Mount Hamas issuing an ultimatum to Israel The convergence of clashes and events during Ramadan and the celebration of Jerusalem Day If you only read one piece on this conflict, I recommend the BBC’s Jeremy Bowen’s analysis. As always, I’m happy to try to answer any questions, and I welcome the perspectives of everyone closer to this conflict than I am. Thanks for being here. -beth P.S. Because of so many requests, I'm making this episode public. Thank you SO MUCH to the Nightly Nuance family for supporting our work here and for your generosity with other listeners!
