I love the @thisdaypod. Today we shared our thoughts about Kamala's loss and Trump's win. I was holding back the tears, but it felt good to talk and be in community with my favorite podcasters: @pastpunditry & Jody Avirgan.

I hope it helps you too.

It's the 80th anniversary of the invasion of Normandy, and while we don't cover much "dad history" here on This Day, big anniversaries like this do provide us with a platform to reflect on our values regarding war, peace, and the world order. @jodyavirgan shares quick thoughts.
