Pantsuit Politics | Two Women, A Conservative And Liberal, Talk News & Politics. No Shouting. No Insults. Plenty Of Nuance.

This week, Sarah and Beth react to the recent Republican and Democratic debates before tackling what is arguably a key driver in this presidential cycle: political correctness. Have we gone too far in trying to be PC, or have we turned political correctness into shorthand for something else entirely? And what does this have to do with The Donald? In the Heels, we share our favorite subscription services. Side note: We apologize for the small audio issues in The Pearls. Luckily, we had it sorted out by The Heels! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sarah and Beth discuss feedback on our abortion episode, the community of Pantsuit Politics listeners, and offer our unfiltered thoughts on the State of the Union and the GOP Response.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week in The Suit we discuss criminal justice reform and the myriad of issues at every stage in the process. From policing problems to mass incarceration, criminal justice reform has emerged as an important priority for both Democrats and Republicans.

From Caitlin Jenner to Cecil the Lion to the Iran agreement, 2015 fired the internet up. We talk about the biggest stories of the year, our lack of outrage, and how we think it might be most productive to discuss these issues moving forward. Against our wills, we also discuss Donald Trump's recent comments about Hillary Clinton, and we end with a critically important debate: bar soap vs. body wash.  Hosted on Acast.

Beth and I are so excited to launch our new podcast Pantsuit Politics on Election Day! We couldn't find a program that brought a nuanced perspective to today's current events and political issues... so we decided to create one. We're going to start every episode with a discussion of the week's news - a segment we're calling The Pearls. For our main segment The Suit, we'll discuss one major issue or story. Finally, in The Heels, we'll share something fun making our lives better - not politically or news related. We hope you enjoy our premiere episode here or subscribe on iTunes! A huge thank you to Nicholas, Sarah's husband, for signing up to be our executive producer!Follow us on Facebook for news on our latest episodes and links to things we discuss in the show and more!
