Matt Grossman: Democrats are from Venus, Republicans are from Mars

This week I brought a full-on political scientist to talk about the mindset difference between Republicans and Democrats. The GOP and DNC don't just have different platforms and goals, they literally think and organize differently. 

I love this kind of stuff. I like policy wonkery and heuristics, and Dr. Grossman does a deep dive on heuristics. After you listen to this episode you should:

1) Be more interesting at cocktail parties

2) Better understand why Republicans and Democrats talk past each other

3) Be slightly taller

Also: I mention in the episode that I'll be uploading a sneak peak of the return of "Alienating the Audience" this week! Several of you enjoyed that segment on my last program, where I go down the scifi wormhole with a fellow nerd. Not sure how it will all manifest, but I'll upload a sneak peak on this RSS feed as a bonus content and thank you to you wonderful orphans!
