This is Sarah Stewart Holland. This is Beth Silvers. You're listening to Pantsuit Politics. Today we are going to talk about the Cornell Seven.
This is going to be a tough conversation. Outside of politics, we're going to need that exhale. So we will be talking about Derek Thompson's piece on the massive decline in hosting. Which I've already heard from so many of you about, so I'm excited to discuss it with you, Sarah.
Before we get started, we want to let you know about next week's schedule here on the podcast. We have two interviews we're going to share next week. We're really excited about them. One is with Kristen Cobez-Dumay on her new book, Live, Laugh, Love.
That was the opening. The rest of the episode (86 min) is in the player: every word clickable, with translation, saved words and flashcards.
