First, a big thank you to
for talking with me on a live last week. It was a lot of fun! Now here’s a podcast you can download and a transcript you can read. It took me a while to figure out how to download the video, so if that’s something you need to do, DM me and I’ll let you know.Andra Watkins, author of the Substack "For Such a Time as This," interviewed me on a LIVE last week on talking about politics without politics. We talked about the fact that we know our values are empathy, inclusion, fairness, mutual respect, and mutual aid, so I talk about how we can have conversations rich with our values without needing to talk about political parties, dictators, and all the rest of the hellscape of this timeline. Our politics is an extension of our values, so creating and consuming entertainment that reflects our values is a good way of reaching people without lecturing them. I talked about this with Josh Cook a couple of weeks ago as well.
This has been lightly edited for clarity and brevity.
