Hello, everyone. Welcome to Gaslit Nation. It's Andrea. I am joined today with a wonderful

guest. But before we get to that, I want to remind everyone that Gaslit Nation is running

a couple of contests. The first one is the Get Out the Vote contest where we're calling

on our listeners to tweet at Gaslit Nation on Twitter and let us know what you're doing

living through these really strange times. Your writing prompts can be anything from the

scary monster that is posh Trump or what's in Trump's basement in Marlago, Jared and

Ivanka just have fun and let loose. The deadline to submit your radio play is October

20th. And you can do it by setting submissions to Gaslit Nation at gmail.com. That's Gaslit
