Hi, Malashta Campbell from the rest is politics.

Nishkeh Maher here from Pod Save the UK.

And Christiana Figueres from outrage and optimism.

Rising inequality, conflict, climate disaster is very hard to find reasons to be hopeful about the future.

That's why we're teaming up this September during the 80th General Assembly of the United Nations.

Along with political currency, Pod Save the World, the Week Jr., and more.

that I'm like, obviously you want to look your best. Oh, because this was a family friend. Yeah, yes, a family friend. And by the way, shout out to everyone in Bloomington, Illinois that's listening to this podcast. Shout out to our Bloomington people. Because at this wedding, I haven't seen people in so long.
