#203 – Sharon McMahon runs an Instagram account @sharonsaysso where liberals and conservatives alike feel welcome to ask questions about how American governance works. How does someone build a neutral space for political discourse In These Trying Times, and how can we listen harder to the people whose voices have been shouted over by a louder, more vocal minority? That's just the sort of question a one-hour podcast can answer, and that's the topic of this week's Downers. Also: the debut of our brand new segment, Wake Kate Up.

Plugs this week:

• Schell Games' UNTIL YOU FALL (Jack)
• Omsom's Asian flavor starters (Kate)
• Leaves (Hao)
