Pantsuit Politics

something I love about Sarah and Beth‘s work is that I can recommend this channel to absolutely anyone. I always learn something from them, and they are able to speak of difficult realities without resorting to venting. That’s my job. As a progressive mom of two living in Kentucky, I do not always agree with everything they say, but I do appreciate everything they say.

I enjoyed the heart can you bring to the show in these times. After all, maybe politics is ultimately about how we feel about how we all are treated. Not that I think you’re just touchy-feely at all. You have great guests and you have good discussions about important topics. As a southerner, it’s also nice hearing smart serious people from the south. Least I guess you’re from the South….

I really enjoyed PP after finding them in the months before the election. Their best episodes really got me thinking and examining my own life (overconsumption etc). Since the election, I’ve been incredibly let down. I’ve turned off multiple episodes, and after today’s comments about education, I decided it was time to be done. Sometimes I think it’s worthwhile to solicit input and feedback prior to making comments about certain things. On the whole though, I’m just not interested in being “open” to look for good in an administration that threatens my daughters rights, impacts my sons medical care, and denigrates federal employees and really everyone who doesn’t agree. That really doesn’t need to be met with an open mind. Maybe it works for others, but it’s not where I am mentally.

I’ve listened to several episodes, and I find myself feeling a bit less informed than I had hoped.
