The Guinea Pig Girls Try to Save The Post Office. Learn about the history of the United States Postal Service (USPS) and how you can continue to support USPS. Especially with this upcoming election, we need a functional, sustainable USPS now more than ever.

Update:
In this episode, Susannah briefly mentions pop supergroup, The Postal Service, saying they no longer existed.
However, a recent fun fact from their Wikipedia page (and for a great cause):  "On October 6, 2020, The Postal Service created new social media accounts for the band and teased an announcement for the following day. The announcement was a mock video conference featuring several musicians and celebrities urging people in the United States to vote in the November election."
