OVERTIME: Make Politicians Sexy Again (Or At Least…Cool?)
from Point Taken with Steve Scaffidi & Kristin Brey
Steve and Kristin dive into a surprisingly real question: does how politicians look actually matter? Inspired by a USA Today article pushing for “hotter” candidates, they debate whether appearance, charisma, and “cool factor” play a role in winning elections — or if it’s all superficial compared to policy. It’s part political analysis, part pop culture, and fully Overtime.
