139 – Perspectives from Across the Pond with Sarah Stook

The United States and United Kingdom have enjoyed and, at times, endured a symbiotic history, culture, politics, and global relationship.  Often understanding the quirks of one nation helps us better understand our own.  Sarah Stook, journalist of American politics and history, joins Saving Elephants host Josh Lewis to discuss what Americans and Brits can learn from one another, what unique challenges face young, British conservatives, the importance of the British monarch, and whether American politics looks as off-the-rails from an outsider's perspective as it does from those actually living in the United States.   About Sarah Stook Sarah Stook is a freelance writer and beat reporter for Elections Daily (focused on American politics) and The Mallard (focused on politics in the United Kingdom) with an emphasis on the Republican Party, presidential elections, and the interworking of campaigns.  She is a fan of historical threads, first ladies, presidents, and vintage fashion.  She is a student at Lancaster University in the U.K. and is a member of the Conservative Party.  You can follow Sarah on Twitter @sarah_stook
