Hi, this is Christine in Oregon. PLEASE KEEP THE PODCAST GOING; PLEASE! When I heard it was the second to last episode, tears formed in my eyes. This podcast is one of the few ways I feel like I can listen to and digest the news without feeling completely overwhelmed and wanting to disengage from politics. The context you give to the news and the way you deliver it is something I haven’t been able to find anywhere else - I feel informed, and engaged without feeling like I’m going to have a panic attack. If I’m to stay engaged and in the fight for the next four years, this podcast is a necessity for me. Thank you for all you do - it's more valuable than you'll ever know. Please stick around; don't leave me!
