In another quarantine book club, we get political with Why We’re Polarized by Ezra Klein (Marie’s pick). Join us as we discuss our (dare we say) polarizing views on this book. We have thoughts about US political history, polarization vs extremism, Mitch McConnell’s evilness, Ezra Klein’s suggestions for moving forward, criticisms of the book, and more! This month’s genre was Lynn’s pick: political.

Make sure to listen all the way through to find out next episode’s genre and book pick - read along with us this month and join us next episode for our discussion!
