| 0:00.0 | The following podcast contains explicit language. |
| 0:09.3 | Hello, welcome to another episode of the Ezra Client Show. I am Ezra Client. |
| 0:13.2 | And this week we have our first returning guest, Heather McGee, the president of Demos, |
| 0:17.8 | which is a fantastic think tank. Heather was a guest on the show a couple months back. |
| 0:22.8 | Very few episodes have had as positive a response from you all. She is particularly |
| 0:28.1 | just genuinely brilliant on the intersection of race, of class, of politics. |
| 0:33.1 | And the conversation we had then was one I really wanted to revisit in the aftermath of the election. |
| 0:38.6 | So I think this is a conversation very much worth hearing. Heather has a perspective on this |
| 0:44.1 | that is really worth sitting down with for a little while and absorbing. So I'm grateful to her |
| 0:49.2 | for coming back. I think you all will really enjoy this. It has certainly left me with a lot to |

| 1:16.8 | I'd be happy to do that and give it a try. So email me at Ezra Client Show at vox.com or if you want |
| 1:22.8 | to hear your voice on the air, send an iPhone or I guess Android or whatever voice memo with your |
| 1:27.7 | question. And we will sometimes soon have an episode where I go through your questions for me, |
| 1:33.3 | which I hope will be fun. So yeah, Ezra Client Show at vox.com send me your questions, email me, |
| 1:37.6 | your voice memo questions, and we will do that sometime very soon. As always, I appreciate it. I'm |
| 1:43.2 | grateful when you share this show and you put it on Facebook or email or when you tell someone |
| 1:46.6 | you're enjoying it. And when you tune into my other podcast, The Weeds, where Matt Glacies and |
