0:00.0	Lemonada.
0:02.7	This is Sarah Stewart Holland.
0:15.3	This is Beth Silvers.
0:16.9	You're listening to Flashback 2020, a special episode of Pantsuit Politics.
0:24.0	Today's flashback episode, Sarah, stands out to me in part because we've already looked back at 2020 in a lot of different ways.
0:32.0	If you are a brand new listener, welcome. We're so glad you're here. We will link two episodes for you that I still
