| 0:00.0 | I listen to Sarah and Beth because I can count on them to bring multiple perspectives to an issue or current event. |
| 0:09.6 | From people with actual moral virtues who might feel comfortable being around my kids. |
| 0:15.0 | Sarah and Beth do such a tremendous job of listening to each other and to opinions that don't immediately align with their own. |
| 0:22.5 | They've done their homework. They ask good questions and they aren't afraid to change their |
| 0:27.1 | minds. This is Sarah Stewart-Holland and you're listening to Pantsuit Politics. If you have |
| 0:33.6 | ever scrolled past all the actual coverage of a news event just to get to someone's take on it, first of all, no judgment. |
| 0:40.2 | Same. |
| 0:40.6 | And second of all, that tension is exactly what we're talking about on today's episode. |
| 0:46.3 | I am joined by Isaac Saul, the founder of Tangle News, which is an incredible newsletter that presents perspectives from the left and the right before giving you |
| 0:54.7 | Isaac's analysis or maybe somebody else's from the Tangle staff. We talk about the line between |
| 1:00.4 | journalism and content creation, what the Minnesota fraud story gets right and wrong about |
| 1:04.7 | decentralized media, why Isaac thinks decency might actually be making a comeback. And outside |
| 1:09.8 | of politics, I give him unsolicited toddler parenting advice. So you're not going to want to miss that. Before we get started, we are selling tickets to our live show in Minneapolis this summer and they are going fast. We only have a few tickets left to the Spice Conference. Let me give you an idea of what that's going to look like if you are a member of our premium community and are on the fence. I've been following the substacker who asks a simple question. What are you doing alone that you can do together? |
| 1:31.7 | So if you've been listening to Pantsuit Politics alone for years, we're inviting you to come |
| 1:35.4 | do it together in community. We're going to have three tracks that follow the segments of the show. |
| 1:39.7 | If you are into news and politics, maybe you can sit down with a listener who will tell you the logistical, |
| 1:47.0 | pragmatic reality of getting involved with a political campaign. If you are civically minded, |
| 1:51.7 | maybe you can sit and learn about neighborism from listeners in Minneapolis. Or maybe you want to go |
| 1:57.5 | on the outside of politics conference track and talk about parenting or reading or travel. |
| 2:02.3 | We're going to take off our AirPods and move beyond the comment thread together in person and share our time together. |
| 2:09.3 | I cannot wait. |
| 2:10.4 | So get your tickets to the Spice Conference and the live show in Minneapolis last weekend of August, the summer. |
