Erin Geiger Smith, THANK YOU FOR VOTING Jul 14, 2020

Show notes

Thank You For Voting was supposed to be research that Erin Geiger Smith did for the renowned author and Parnassus Bookstore owner, Ann Patchett. But after Erin threw herself into the work for so long, Ann said that Erin should finish writing the book herself! This accidental treatise on the history of voting will encourage everyone to vote in the upcoming election. Something more critical now than ever before.

Jasmine Guillory, PARTY OF TWO Jul 10, 2020
