Is it possible to have grace-filled conversations during these ingracious times of ours? After 500 episodes heard by hundreds of thousands of listeners, Sarah Stewart Holland and Beth Silvers, Kentucky-based creators of Pantsuit Politics, can decisively say that it is. In Episode 16, “Amazing Grace for Our Partisan Times,” they share some of the secrets to their podcasting and publishing success. But that doesn’t mean the two long-time friends agree on all things political. In fact, disagreement is common currency on the show. But it’s the respectful nature of their disagreement, with each other as with guests and listeners, that makes for great discussion. The two-point to a series of shows on the Kavanaugh hearings as a case in point. There’s barely an issue that Pantsuit Politics has not tackled in nearly five years on the digital air: COVID, gun violence, police reform, global warming, etc. The list is impressive, if daunting. Yet Beth and Sarah conduct all show research themselves, podcasting twice weekly to listeners throughout the US and internationally. Tune into the Purple Principle episode, “Amazing Grace for Our Partisan Times,” to meet Beth and Sarah and learn how we all might communicate more artfully in these polarized times.
