    Mark Robinson on abortion, LGBTQ comments, the Civil Rights Act and more

    Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson is one of the most divisive figures in North Carolina politics.In this episode, we discuss his recently released book and his politics. Some of what he says in this conversation is sure to offend some listeners on issues like abortion and LGBTQ rights, even the Civil Rights Act.

    It’s an odd time for reporters who cover elections. It’s a lot harder than it used to be to talk to some candidates. The emergence of social media has certainly played a role.

Thoughtful and Respectful Commentary

A much needed podcast for those hoping to keep on the latest politics in North Carolina. Thank you for doing this podcast ahead of the 2022 midterms and I hope it continues!

These three reporters do a great job of presenting ideas/issues and giving their opinions alongside their analysis of how those across the political spectrum are reacting. The interviews are solid as well.

Good, concise, gets to the point

I don’t think that objective news reporting is possible, but this podcast does a good job of presenting facts and mostly letting them speak for themselves.
