| 0:00.0 | Welcome to this episode of the award-winning Best of the Left podcast in which we shall |
| 0:07.0 | take a look at the difference between the kind of political messaging that feels like |
| 0:11.1 | the right thing to say and the reframed messages that actually get political results that |
| 0:16.0 | allow for progressive policies to get passed. |
| 0:19.0 | Sources today include How We Win, Future Hindsight, the Tom Hartman program, Deconstructed and |
