Welcome to Pantsew Politics, where a woman from the right and a woman from the left

accessorize the news with a fresh perspective.

This is Sarah Holland from the left and bath silvers from the right.

Welcome to our special Friday episode, The Brief Case, where we try to send you into the weekend with what you need to know about one or two trending stories.

We also share Friday feedback and try to address any questions or concerns we get from you. Our fabulous listeners.

So as always, we're asking everyone to sign up for our new emails so that you can get every episode delivered directly to your inbox, as well as show notes and we're planning to add some unique content there in the coming weeks.

Our interview with Unchained Jane is up right now on their website. Unchained is a really fun blog as they describe themselves for badass women.

And we were excited to be interviewed with them. So part one is up. I think part two will come out this weekend, so we'd love for you to check it out.

And also don't forget to check out the selfie vote by Kristen Sultis Anderson.

Kristen is going to be our guest for Tuesday's podcast. We're so excited to talk with her. It's a great book, a really quick and fun read.

So we hope you'll have time to at least preview it before you listen next week.

I'm really excited about our first interview with her. I am too.

So now in the Friday feedback, as we just said, we try to take seriously all the great information you guys send us, feedbacks about everything from our sound quality to our discussions.

And we actually received a really fabulous email from Jay Tom Linson about our political correct episode.

And it was so on point we've decided to read a part of it. He sort of went into political correctness and that there are a few problems he thinks come up over and over again with regards to the subject.

And the part that I really love that he said is, and I'm going to read directly from his email.

The second problem is how we talk about this issue is that people very often, if not entirely, think that the primary issue we're dealing with is people's feelings.

Nearly all of these discussions, including on the latest episode of this podcast, focus on weather and how people are offended.

If I could stress one point, it would be that political correctness or the underlying concept that needs a better name is important not because we need to save the feelings of people, but because unchecked political correctness leads to real world harms and consequences that are far more impactful than hurt feelings.

On point, Jay, you were on point.

Yeah, he gave some really great examples. And I just, it always, I just kind of get excited about the really substantive feedback that we get from listeners and the conversations we have on Twitter and Facebook about these things.

It just feels like a gift that we have all these people willing to engage with us in this way.
