I had a nice inter­view with Wis­con­sin Friend Kat Grif­fith. She likes, even loves, going door-to-door in her “pur­ple” dis­trict and talk­ing pol­i­tics to strangers. She’s a won­der­ful sto­ry­teller and it was hard not to laugh as she talked about some of these adven­tures (spoil­er: she’s far braver than I am!). In a time of hyper-partisanship, it’s a good reminder to build our lives around curios­i­ty and communication.

The Feb­ru­ary arti­cle we were talk­ing about is “Rhap­sody in Pur­ple.” See also: Show notes for the video inter­view.
