| 0:02.7 | This is Beth Silvers. You're listening to Pantsuit Politics. |
| 0:16.7 | Sarah is out today, and I am delighted to be joined by our dear friend Vanessa Zoltan. |
| 0:21.9 | Vanessa is one of my favorite people and thinkers and she joined me today for a very |
| 0:27.5 | broad discussion of higher education. The Trump administration has taken fast and furious |
| 0:33.0 | executive action concerning higher ed impacts all of us, even those of us who have no connection |
| 0:39.5 | to any college or university in a huge variety of ways. And Vanessa and I are going to dig into that. |
| 0:46.2 | She is such a wealth of insight and perspective. And I hope that you enjoy hearing from her as |

| 1:50.5 | we will have our 1,000th episode with the one and only Jen Hatmaker. There would not be a |

| 2:00.1 | podcast many years ago. |
