    I just listened for the first time to your 16 April episode with Jasmine Crockett & Heather Cox Richardson, 2 of my absolute favorite political figures. I’m left feeling more hopeful than I have in quite some time. I’m also more knowledgeable than I was before I listened to this episode. Thank you! I’ll be hearing a lot more of you!
