This is Sarah Stewart Holland and this is Beth Silverce.

Thank you for joining us for Pantsy Politics.

Welcome to another episode of Pantsy Politics.

We are here on the 10th anniversary of the Edward Snowden leaks.

We've thought in the decades since we've learned a lot about leaks and the data collection

and how we feel about Edward Snowden himself.

So we thought this would be an excellent opportunity to sort of have a bigger conversation

about leaks, about our government, how we feel about it, and how we feel about the leakers

themselves.

So we are here today to talk about Edward Snowden and as always we will end the show on

what's on our mind, outside politics, and we're going to talk about family dialects.

I'm so excited.

We hope that you really enjoy this in all of our episodes and if you do, we would be so

grateful if you would take a moment to leave a five star rating and review in your podcast

player of choice.

It helps other people find Pantsy Politics.

One of the best parts of doing this job is getting to hear from all of you and as more people

are listening, the diversity and thoughtfulness of those emails just increases.

So please, please share Pantsy Politics with others in your lives and thank you in advance

for your kind words.

Next up we're going to talk about the history of leaks in our country.

Before we get into Mr. Snowden, we thought we'd do just a little review of intelligence
