Summary
We’re off this week, but we're bringing you an episode of Runway Country with Alex Wagner. Every Thursday, the veteran journalist sits down with everyday Americans and political experts to cut through the noise and zero in on the stories that matter. In this episode, Alex speaks to former trad wife and host of “The Wake Her Up Podcast”, Sharon Johnson, about her upbringing in the Mormon Church, what it was like to discover she could have agency and choice in her late thirties, and how she feels about trad wives trending. Then Alex is joined by host of Crooked’s “Hysteria” podcast, Erin Ryan, to talk about the broader political goals behind the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2026 plan, and how it attempts to punish women who don’t fit their ideals. Catch Runaway Country with Alex Wagner on YouTube or wherever you listen to podcasts.
