What makes podcasts so powerful? On this episode of Stories and Strategies, I chat with Roger Nairn about why podcasts build trust where other channels fall short. They feel less like content, and more like someone speaking directly to you. That’s the difference. That’s the power.

Erin bent herself into pretzels to come up with her ridiculously horrible opinion that Steyer would be better for LGBTQ+ than Becerra because she liked Steyer’s sound bite. It’s one of most disingenuous opinion pieces I’ve read, besides @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social bs re Steyer on climate.
