Summary
Every now and again, we have so many reader questions in the backlog that we decide to devote a full edition to address them. Today is one of those days.
I love reader mailbag editions because they give us a chance to cover a variety of topics in one newsletter. It can also be fun to answer questions that are a little more personal, or a little outside our standard U.S. politics realm (we love those kinds of questions, so don’t be shy!).
In today’s edition, we’ll be tackling a wide range of topics and doing something new: Splitting up some of the answers. You’ll notice that some of today’s questions are answered by Ari, some by Will, and even one by Magdalena.
We hope you enjoy this edition, and don’t forget you can always ask us a question by replying to an email or filling out this form.
We just released the next episode of our new podcast series, The Undecideds. In episode 2, our undecided voters primarily talk about Trump’s legal troubles. How do they feel about his alleged crimes? How would him being convicted - or exonerated - change the way they vote? What about his claims he should have immunity as president? You’ll hear how they consider these major themes of the race, and also what they made of Haley dropping out and Biden’s State of the Union Address. You can listen to Episode 2 here.
Our podcast is written by Isaac Saul and edited and engineered by Jon Lall. Music for the podcast was produced by Diet 75.
Our newsletter is edited by Managing Editor Ari Weitzman, Will Kaback, Bailey Saul, Sean Brady, and produced in conjunction with Tangle’s social media manager Magdalena Bokowa, who also created our logo.

| 1:01.0 | I'm your host, Isaac Saul, and on today's episode, we're going to be doing a reader mailbag. That's right. We've got a lot of questions in the tank from readers and listeners, and we just |
| 1:14.1 | want to clear the decks a little bit. We do this every now and then, you know, where we have so |

| 1:35.2 | answer some questions that are maybe a little more personal or a little outside the standard |
| 1:39.5 | U.S. politics realm. So today, we're going to tackle this wide range of reader questions. We're also |
| 1:46.1 | going to be doing something new. We're splitting up some of the answers. So I'm here. I'm Isaac. |
| 1:52.0 | I'm going to be reading the responses to these, but you'll notice that some of today's questions |
