Sound Politics is getting a little weird this week: Scott is solo hosting, and the pod is taking a break from our regular episode format due to the upcoming holiday weekend. Scott and Libby will be back with your regular 'ol normie Sound Politics next week. In the meantime, Scott is bringing you a conversation that's all about weird. Weird - it’s the word that’s been on the tip of plenty of democrats’ tongues this summer, as they try to communicate to voters why they should vote for the Harris Walz ticket in November, and leave Trump behind. Does any of this labeling work? Scott catches up with two experts about why this strategy may be working for Democrats. GUESTS: Madeline Jalbert, postdoctoral fellow with the University of Washington's Center for an Informed Public Ira Hyman, psychology professor Western Washington University RELATED LINKS: Is 'weird-checking' the new fact checking?
