The Political Winds Are Changing

About this episode

Steve Scaffidi and Kristin Brey discuss what makes someone a good communicator before turning to a pair of brands facing backlash over controversial ads and products. They also examine changing attitudes toward the U.S. overseas, President Trump’s continued influence within the Republican Party, and Meta’s multibillion-dollar settlement over harm to younger users. Later, Wisconsin Policy Forum’s Mark Sommerhauser joins to explain Wisconsin’s growing “brain drain” and why college-educated residents are leaving much of the Midwest. Steve and Kristin also remember Dolly Parton and the work that made her a beloved figure across political lines.
