Enjoyed joining the Kentucky-based hosts of the Pantsuit Politics podcast to help kick off their nationwide series of candidate interviews, which will use American Nations as its scaffolding.
Hosts Sarah Stewart Holland and Beth Silvers started the podcast – focusing on women in politics – in 2015, when Holland was a Democrat and Silvers a Republican. Silvers left her party after its embrace of Donald Trump and Trumpism which she — correctly in my view — sees as inconsistent with legacy Republican values. Their candidate series kicked off with Greater Appalachia and Kelly Krout, who is running for Lt. Governor in Arkansas.
Our inaugural interview framing the series is up over at their homepage, iTunes, or wherever you get your podcasts.
