Hey everybody, it's Mary.

Every once in a while, I like to drop something in your feed,

tell you about a new podcast that I'm loving that I think you should check out too.

This is one of those times.

The United States of Anxiety from Chi-Rite and WNYC Studios,

they just launched their fourth season.

What I love about this podcast is that it's an election podcast unlike any other election podcast.

That's because Chi breaks down the conversations that we're having right now in the 2020 election,

about race, about the economy,

and he traces the roots of those conversations all the way back through history.

So I'm going to let him take it from here.

He'll give you a little bit of their first episode.

I met a new friend last fall.

Hey, Verneeda.

Hey, how are you?

I'm woman named Verneeda Blocker.

And the thing about Verneeda is she grew up country.

So I don't know if you've ever heard of this, but you could make snowcrain, snow icecrain.

And she told me all these rustic stories about stuff she did.

I'm going to tell you about it.

I'm going to tell you about it.

I'm going to tell you about it.
