I was Friday years old when I discovered the hilarious magic that is you. As a political consultant and child welfare expert I have spent a career dealing w/ people who never watched Schoolhouse Rocks How A Bill Becomes a Law or ever took a civics course. So I have already ordered the book, shared your website w/ all my followers on every platform and basically developed an obsession w/ consuming everything you've ever said, written or talked about. At this particular moment in our political history your POV is just what we need. Perspective, context, knowledge. I can't thank you enough! Loved Armchair which is how we connected!

I hope you've found her podcast! And since you are playing catch-up (lucky you!), you can listen to more than one a week for quite a while. Welcome to the #governerds !

I have and I'm ALL IN! My husband's away this week and I've got extra time to do a deep dive. Always be learning is my motto so clearly I've come to the right place. I've been a #governerd all my life....I just didn't know we had a group! I feel like I've come home!

Jon Stewart’s podcast with Heather Cox Richardson was excellent. Definitely recommend giving it a listen and also her Letters from America on Substack.

I’ve heard of Armchair Expert, but listening to your episode with them was the first one for me. It was soo good! And exactly what I needed this week.

Ditto!! I’m halfway through and doing it on YouTube because I pay more attention when watching. SO good and fun seeing casually dressed Sharon !

Yes! I watched it too! It was so cool to see Sharon in a more relaxed setting.

I’d wager that you and your husband would love the show Trying on Apple TV. It’s like Ted Lasso for infertility, adoption, and family.

The episode of Armchair Expert was great! I haven’t listened to that podcast before and really enjoyed it.

The Franklin miniseries was excellent!
