Social Media Darlings (with Sharon McMahon and Julie Womack)

On today’s episode, hosts Rachel Vindman, Jasmine Clark, and Amanda Weinstein talk about social media. When it comes to Twitter and Facebook, it’s easy to find the bad and the ugly… but what about the good? Social media can be a powerful tool to bring people together and organize around issues that we care about. To learn more, the hosts chat with Julie Womack, the head organizer for Red Wine and Blue. Julie discusses the simple power of talking to your friends about politics and how we can use social media to create positive change.

Then Jasmine gets the incredible opportunity to chat with Sharon McMahon. Sharon has built a huge community around her Instagram account SharonSaysSo, where she educates people about history and the government. They talk about her community of “governerds,” combating misinformation, and Sharon's favorite historical insults. Finally, our hosts raise a glass to positive experiences on social media—and the importance of logging off sometimes—in this week’s “Toast to Joy.”
