This is Sarah Stewart Holland and this is Beth Silverce.

Thank you for joining us for Pantsy Politics.

Thank you so much for joining us today at Pantsy Politics.

We have a very special episode for you.

We are delighted to welcome our friend Chelsea Devantes to the show.

Chelsea hosts the excellent podcast celebrity book club where she discusses celebrity

memoirs.

She has spent much of her career writing political comedy, including for the problem with

John Stewart.

And today she's going to talk with us about the state of political comedy, where she thinks

it's going and what is not working anymore.

Before we get started, we have a very exciting announcement.

If you were a listener of the show last year, you know that we were both late arrivals

to the brilliance that is HBO show succession.

We've caught up after the season three finale last spring and season four starts at the

end of March and you guys were going to be doing real time episode recaps on our premium

channels.

Beth, I'm an only child.

Okay.

TV was my sibling and I've waited my whole life to be able to have some sort of professional

platform in which I can talk about TV like this.

I could not be more excited.
