Welcome to the inaugural episode of Sister Sidebar with Kimberly Atkins Store and me, Barb McQuade.

We are so excited to launch this show. We get so many fantastic questions from our listeners,

and we don't have enough time to cover them in the main show. It really is our favorite part of the

Sisters in

Law podcast. And so on Sisters sidebar, Kim, we're going to get to dive deeper into the

topics that our listeners care about the most. This is going to be a Wednesday thing. We'll have a new

episode every Wednesday with two or more of the sisters. So you'll be hearing from all of us just in some

sort of mixture. So if you have a question for us, as always, please email us at sisters-in-law

at politicon.com or tag us on social media using hashtag sisters-in-law. But don't just type them.

Your voices are so important. We want to hear them,

too. Kim, can you explain how people might be able to give us a sample of their verbal question?

Yes. So for those, well, I can only explain it for people who use iPhones because that's what I use,

but there is something in there called a voice memo.

You can take a voice memo and then you can email it to Sisters in Law at Politicon.com and listen in on Wednesdays because we may play your voice memo of your question before we answer it.

Yeah, we're looking forward to hearing them. And of course, we love seeing you rocking our hashtag Sisters-in-law merch, so don't forget to pick

them up at the politicon.com slash merch website.

Now, remember, dear listeners, I am a teacher, and I know the difference between questions and

comments.

We don't want to hear, we don't want to hear your long-winded stories, you know,

just, it's a question, right? Sucinct, we're here to answer the questions, right? We don't hear

about your dog. We love your dog, but this is about legal questions. So that's what we want to

hear about. Well, let's get started. Kim, you ready for a question? Our first question comes to us from Hillary.
