This is Sarah Stewart Holland. This is Beth Silver's. You're listening to Pantsu Politics, where we take a different approach to the news. Thanks for joining us today. We are delighted to be joined by someone that lots of you know

in love already Sharon McMahon Sharon is a former history teacher who now does

civic education online she first grew her audience on Instagram but now has her

own podcast and has written a book.

And she joined us today to talk about her work and her book, and we can't wait to share that conversation

with you.

Before we do, on a recent episode, I quickly and somewhat off-handedly talked about why

groceries are expensive and quite a few of you said I would like to hear more about

that. Unfortunately we have a show called More to Say where I do just say more about things that are interesting to me and hopefully to you as well.

So on More to Say this week, I discussed why groceries are so expensive and many of you said I wish I could share this episode I wish

it were available to everyone. Patreon has a new feature where if you are not a

regular more to say listener you are able to buy just this episode for five

dollars it's a great way to support our work and also

to get access to things that you are worried about missing. So if you would like to

hear why groceries are so expensive from my perspective, We will put a link in the show notes

for you to purchase just that episode,

or we would love for you to join us regularly

for more to say for $15 a month.

We also wanted to invite you to join us

for the Vice presidential debate on Tuesday

October 1st just like the presidential debates we will be in the chats on our

Patreon community and our sub-stact community so if you want to watch along with us
