There's no shortage of controversy to be found in the news this week.

We try to bring a little calm to hotly contested debates around third parties, football players, and New Jersey wages.

This is Sarah from the left.

And Beth from the right.

And you're listening to Pantsy Politics.

You're shouting, no insults, plenty of nuance.

Thanks for joining us for another episode of the briefcase.

We have the most exciting news.

The Pantsy Politics team is growing!

Yay!

So we are adding a new member to the Pantsy Politics team.

We're going to put a voice to a name you all have seen probably a lot.

You want to introduce yourself?

Hey everybody, this is Dante Lima.

And I am going to be an official member of the Pantsy Politics team from here on out.

So I guess the duo is now becoming a trio.

Hurray!

What do we decide for your official fun title Dante?

I think we're going to go with Chief Creative Officer, which is obviously way too high of a title.

But given that I work in marketing and I'm a writer and I've kind of worked in the creative industry for a long time,

I'm going to be helping shape a lot of the content that's going to be coming to the website, help plan for episodes, and be an occasional guest.

So I guess all of that falls under creative.
