Jann, Caitlin & Sarah try to make sense of the 2024 American Presidential Election.
In this episode, Jann Arden, Caitlin Green, and Sarah Burke discuss the US election results. They try to understand the historic comeback of Donald Trump and the implications for the nation, and Canada. They explore themes of political division, voter sentiment, the role of education and illiteracy, and the economic implications of Trump's policies. They of course, also touch on women's health, gender dynamics, and the media's role in large political events. Ultimately, they express hope for positive change and encourage active engagement in the political process.
For a quick palette cleanser, Jann tells the story of learning how to change a tire at sixteen years old, Sarah shares a story about getting a flat tire the first week she had her new car, and they remind their listeners of a great deal from sponsor Fountain Tire!
