Today, you’ll hear advice from Sarah Stewart Holland and Beth Silvers. They’re the hosts of the popular podcast “Pantsuit Politics” and they’ve written two books to establish basic rules of engagement, even when the people talking have vastly different viewpoints. Their latest book is called “Now What? How To Move Forward When We’re Divided About Basically Everything.”
