I know there's heightened interest in the Ontario Liberal Party and Ontario politics right now because of the #olpldr race. So I wanted to provide a 🧵 of episodes from the @PersistersCAN podcast on women in politics that me and some friends put together last summer. /1
Here's the teaser episode to give you an overview. The show brings listeners into the backrooms of Canadian politics by interviewing the women solving our country’s toughest civic, social, and political challenges. podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/persi… /2
Here's episode 2 with Brooke Crewson. It focuses on political organization given her experiences working at OLP HQ, in a constit office, in an MPP's office, in a Minister's office, and supporting the Premier. podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/persi… /3
Here's episode 3 where we get into graphic design in politics with Andrea Ledwell. She's designed just about everything you can think of on a political campaign. I'm pretty sure we talk about kerning at some point! podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/persi… /4
Here's episode 4 with Tracey Sobers who for years was responsible for ensuring Premier @Dalton_McGuinty had everything he needed to succeed on behalf of Ontarians each day. Today you can find Tracey over at @CuriousPblc. podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/persi… /5
Here's episode 5 with Kate Graham which focused on how to build a party platform. It takes a really focused team to turn 38,000 ideas and over 230,000 votes into an 80-page platform. #olpldr candidates should take note. podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/persi… /6
