Including Should I mention my blog in a SOP for an interdisciplinary postdoc application?

So I am a PhD candidate in physicsPhysics, and currently I am applying to some interdisciplinary postdocs that deal with economics/climate science/etc. I have a pretty good academic publishing record, but also own a moderately successful blog that deals with economics, politics, science, etc. from a "left"Left perspective.

My question is whetherWould it would be sensible to include my blog in my CV or research statement, to show that I am interested in that sort of interdisciplinary workwork and that I have good communication skills.?

Some of the posts have a couple of thousands reads etc, which implies I have an audience. My issue is that, because it is a partisan blog it has obviously some strongly worded opinions, so I am not sure if it would be professional to mention it. The reason why I want to include my blog is that my PhD is in pure physics, and I want to show I can "work" in other environments as well.
