This is Sarah Stewart-Holland.

This is Beth Silvers.

You're listening to Pantsu Politics,

where we take a different approach to the news.

Thank you so much for joining us today.

It is the last day of 2024.

We did it.

Let's just take a minute and celebrate that we made it through this year.

Bye.

That's how I have to say to her.

Bye.

So we are closing the book on this year as we close Alexis de Tocqueville's classic democracy in America.

We've been slowly reading this book with the Spice Cabinet, our premium community on

Substack all year, reflecting on observations made in the 18th century that still feel extremely

relevant today. So today we are going to wrap up that

series. If you want to go back and listen, we'll put all of the previous episodes in our show

notes. It really has been a helpful exercise. And if you enjoy this conversation, we hope that

you'll consider joining us on Substack for more projects like this.

Music joining us on Substack for more projects like this. At Pansuit Politics, we really value reading of many different types of texts.

So, Sarah, you had the idea that we should, in the year 2024, read together slowly, the classic democracy in America from Alexis to Tocqueville.

And I am wondering, as we have reached the end of the year and the end of the book, what your expectations were when we started and if this exercise has met your expectations.
