Apathy is not patriotic. I feel in the call to celebrate the 4th of July uncritically

a sense that apathy is patriotic. Can't we just get along? Can't we just let things go?

Can't we just have hot dogs and fun and not worry about things?

This is Sarah and Beth, your listening to Pant Suit Politics,

a home of grace filled political conversations.

Hello everyone! Welcome to Episode 501 of Pant Suit Politics. Thank you so much for celebrating 500 episodes with us.

I basically cried for three days and that is very uncharacteristic for me,

but you all just supported us and have shown us so much love as we've been making this show.

And we're really excited to make 500 more episodes.

Crying is not uncharacteristic for me, but that level of crying is it just...

it got to the point where I was like, I'm not emotional load, it's just too high.

And we made this amazing Spotify playlist and by way I mean you.

I just took every suggestion and plugged it into a playlist.

So it is a wide variety. We're talking sister suffragit from Mary Poppins to Beyonce.

Okay, it's a wide range, but they're so good. And Spotify picked Natalie Marchin,

kind and generous as the first song after I listened to the podcast.

Yes, the podcast is in the playlist. And I just cried so hard.

It was such a celebration. Your messages, the milestone of the moment in general, our team's hard work.

It really, really was so special. We cannot thank you enough.

So if you are relatively new to Pant Suit Politics, but heard that episode and thought,

there's a lot of community discussion here. How do I get more involved?

A great place to start is with our extra credit book subscription.
