    Week 21 - October 28, 2018 - Social Pressure, Real People, and Doing Something

    In this week's episode, I make a final push for people to vote in the Midterm elections, experience the toughest 37 doors of my canvassing career, and look at turning data into action. I also remember the victims from the Tree of Life Synagogue tragedy, become Leslie Knope, and describe living my Jewish Values.

    Week 20 - October 21, 2018 - Fundraising, Badass Women, and Demi the Donkey

    In this week's episode, I remember Rep. Mike O'Brien, I talk about fair compensation for work done, and work on improving my elevator pitch. I also talk about voting as a social act, standing up to bullies, and being a cheerleader for people doing good work for democracy.

    Week 19 - October 14, 2018 - Elevator Pitches, Christian Dior, and a Proud Dad

    In this week's episode, I wax poetic on how to encapsulate all that I am in 2 minutes or less, I share my love of networking, and I discuss fighting bigotry. I also talk about how it's not all about me, how important it is to make sure we see ourselves reflected in our elected officials, and how I've been challenged to a door knocking competition by my canvassing friends.

    Week 17/18 - October 7, 2018 - Confidence, the Bonds of Sisterhood, and 2018 Doors

    In this week's episode, I focus on taking action when things seem bleak, tailoring my message to my audience, and the unique skills that women bring to the table. I also admire people standing up for themselves, think about how I'll get to all 66 Wards, and get to appear in a video and a radio show.

    Week 16 - September 23, 2018 - Leslie Knope, Happiness vs. Meaning, and Cautious Optimism

    In this week's episode, I reflect on leaving a legacy, attending some incredible events, and fighting back against impostor syndrome. I also get to be in the room where it happens, to say thank you to two of my political heroes, President Obama and Senator Elizabeth Warren, and to feel like Pennsylvania is at the center of the universe.

Troy in Philly ,

Keep it up Beth!

This is a great, very conversational podcast that gives amazing insight in to the thoughts of a local government candidate, something we could use more of. Really well done Beth!

Philly Since '76 ,

Great Candidate!

Really enjoy the honesty and vulnerability in this podcast! Also learning things I didn't know about running for office and civil government. Looking forward to voting for an awesome candidate!

HillarySay ,

I’m Finnspired!

I’m a Pennsylvanian, but not a Philly voter. I heard about Beth from City & State First Read, and I’m so glad to hear real words from a young female running for office! I’m happy to be following along with her journey, and I look forward to learning more about this process!
