What Nuance and Moderation Mean To Us (with Christina Dalcher)

  1. What Nuance and Moderation Mean To Us (with Christina Dalcher) Sarah & Beth 57:54

This week’s news has galvanized a new wave of conversations about what’s at stake in the political landscape. We discuss the situation surrounding Jamal Khashoggi’s death and The New York Times article questioning the place of nuance in our modern culture. Considering our whole deal is nuance, we have an extended conversation about what nuance and moderation mean to us and how power dynamics matter as a part of that conversation. 

Then, we share Beth’s conversation with author Christina Dalcher who wrote Vox, a novel about women’s voices being taken away – literally. They talk about how feminism and modern politics did and did not influence Dalcher’s work.

Pantsuit Politics is a podcast for real conversations that help us understand politics, democracy, and the news - while still treating each other like thoughtful human beings. We take a different approach to the news; our political analysis blends hard facts with important social and cultural undercurrents so you don’t miss the big picture. Over years of discussing everything from abortion to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, we established basic rules of engagement, which we describe in our books, Now What? How to Move Forward When We’re Divided (About Basically Everything) (2022) and I Think You’re Wrong (But I’m Listening): A Guide to Grace-Filled Political Conversation (2019). Listeners describe us as “America’s political therapists” and “our trusted, smarter friends who can help us make sense of the world.”
