This is Sarah Stewart Holland, and this is Beth Silvers.

Thank you for joining us for Pantsuit Politics.

We're so glad you're here with us for a new episode of Pantsuit Politics, so we take a different approach to the news.

It's a holiday week, and so we are going to try to give you an episode that we hope is both delightful and thought-provoking today.

We're going to chat a little about how this upcoming election is not a typical presidential election,

and that is a bit of an adjustment for everybody.

Then our dear friend and TV writer Chelsea Devantes is here to tell us about her experience of the writer's strike.

Then we're going to go outside of politics to discuss something extremely political as we do some times today.

That is tradwives.

If you don't know what that expression means, hang in for a real ride as we discuss women who have turned a submissive vision of femininity into a powerful vehicle for influence.

Before we jump into that conversation, we wanted to invite you to snag the last few remaining tickets to our Padooga Live Show.

We'd love to see you in my hometown for the weekend of October 21st.

We're going to have the best time.

We know you're going to love meeting other listeners, and Beth, guess what I discovered this week?

Tell me.

Are local, independent, art house, cinema, and downtown Padooga is showing Tyler Swiss the era's tour that weekend.

It's like all of Padooga is saying, what specifically would Pantsley politics listeners enjoy doing here?

Yeah.

Yeah.

And they're like midday ones too.

So it's not like you would have to like miss the live show.

Like there's several showing.
