Pantsuit Politics

We've talked water, electricity, and transportation, but today's final episode of our Infrastructure In Real Life series is about the 21st century infrastructures that are still emerging. ⁠

⁠We spoke to Dr. Nicol Turner-Lee, Adie Tomer, and Kathryn de Wit about broadband and how vital it is for communities to have high-speed access. We also spoke to Savitha Moorthy and Anne Helen Petersen about why dependable childcare is essential to our economy and how we should be supporting both parents and childcare workers better. ⁠

Infrastructure in Real Life: Transportation Jul 27, 2021

Show notes

Our Infrastructure In Real Life series continues down the road with its third installment today. We're talking transportation! ⁠

Even though America is a very car-centric country, we're not limiting our conversation to transportation with wheels. Plus, we talk about why infrastructure projects are just so dang expensive and what that means for the innovating in this space.⁠

Infrastructure in Real Life: Electricity Jul 23, 2021

Show notes

When the power goes out, it's like a record scratching and pushing our normal lives into a weird pause. For most of us, we take for granted the predictability and reliability of our power supply. We count on the infrastructure that brings us energy, but that system needs attention. ⁠

⁠On this, the second episode of our Infrastructure In Real Life series, we're talking about energy, climate, jobs, and the politics of how these things intersect. We're sharing more insight from our Brookings Institute friends and can't wait to hear what you think, too. ⁠⁠

We spoke to local experts like Dr. Crystal Tulley-Cordova of the Navajo Nation and John Hodges of Paducah, KY. We also talked to Adie Tomer and Joseph Kane from the Brookings Institute to get a big-picture perspective on how water infrastructure works. ⁠
