This is Sarah Stewart Holland. This is Beth Silver's. You're listening to Pantsu Politics, where we take a different approach to the news. Thank you so much for joining us today. We are delighted to be sharing a conversation

we had at the DNC with lieutenant governor of Minnesota, Peggy Flanagan,

so the sound might sound a little different, just FYI recorded, we recorded that in a hotel in the middle of Chicago.

Should the Harris Wall's ticket win, Lieutenant Governor Flanagan will become Governor Flanagan of Minnesota

and it will make her the first indigenous woman to serve as governor and the highest

ranking native woman in the country.

We were so happy to talk to her about her work as lieutenant governor and the issues that have

been important to her and she stuck around for outside of politics, which you are not going to want to miss.

Before that, we're going to be talking about Labor.

We're going into Labor Day and there's some new polling from Gallup around Americans' ideas about labor and we wanted to talk about that.

Just a little housekeeping before we jump into all of that.

We'll be at Edge Hill United Methodist Church in Nashville on Sunday, September 8th.

You can find more information about that in the show notes and on our website.

If you're in the Nashville area, this event is open to the public and we would love to see you there.

And if you're part of our premium community, this week is our second to last Democracy in America slow read-along episode.

We have found Democracy in America, Alexis to Tocqueville's classic, to be so relevant as we go into an election this year.

We are also wrapping up the Summer Book Club next week

with conversations about the sentence by Louise Airdrich.

So lots going on in our premium community.

We would love for you to join us if you haven't already. All the

information to do that will be in the show notes. Up next we're going to talk about

labor. Beth as we head into the Labor Day holiday, celebrating the Labor Movement in America.
