This is Sarah Stewart Holland. This is Beth Silver's. You're listening to Pantsu Poohletics, where we take a different approach to the news. We're so glad that you're here. We have been, you know, with the rest of the world very

focused on the presidential election for a month now and we will stay focused on it.

We do want to take a step back today and look at the state of the world in general,

which is quite tumultuous, and take a look at some

very competitive races that will appear up and down your ballot, including

governor's races, which leads us to a weekend of political scandals there's lots to

discuss about Mark Robinson etc which we will do today and then outside of

politics we are deep in school pictures and fundraisers

season, so we're just going to take a second and pour one out for

everybody caught in the middle of this very demanding time.

We know that contentious elections and world crises bring up a lot of questions and concerns

and intense feelings inside organizations and we really love helping with that. We love

helping schools and universities. We like helping corporations and small

businesses. We love working with nonprofits and churches. We love working with y'all.

As the world puts pressure on the relationships inside your organizations and institutions.

We know quite a few groups are reading our first book. I think you're wrong but I'm

listening in advance of the election and if you'd like information on the book or

if you'd like us to come speak to your group about finding strength and

disagreement and communicating well during this to your group about finding strength and disagreement

and communicating well during this season,

please reach out to Elise, our managing director.

We spoke to a church in New York City
