Hey everyone it's me, Reed Galing.

As you may have noticed, I don't host the Lincoln Project podcast anymore,

but I'm so excited to share with you my brand new show, The Home Front.

On the Home Front, you'll get the same incisive discourse about the pro-democracy movement from the smartest, most driven people in the fight today.

If you're listening to this episode on the Lincoln Project Podcast channel, I invite you to subscribe to the home front on Apple,

Spotify or wherever you get your shows. I want to say thank you to all of you in the

pro-democracy movement and I look forward to continuing our American journey

together and now the home front.

Welcome to the home front. I'm your host, Reed Galen. Today I'm delighted to welcome

back journalist and political reporter Abigail Tracy. You know her from Inc magazine, Forbes and most recently Vanity Fair.

Today she's coming to us from Washington DC. Abby welcome back. Thank you so much for having me back.

storytelling to get messages across in a way that doesn't just bum people out and actually

Yeah right that kind of like helps motivate and you know I think the ultimate theme is sort of like people drive these
