    Anchor Yourself To Democracy, Bring Friends To Your Dinner Table

    There are many emotions and perspectives about the state of our democracy today.  Podcaster Gregory Humphrey suggests that forming your home as an anchor where family and friends can unite and know that shared values will be respected is an essential way to be protected from the bombast and chaos created by Donald Trump and his administration.  At his home, near a lake, the loons have returned for a spring visit, and in that annual ritual, there is a lesson to be found about keeping the faith. A lesson for us in these days when democracy is under attack.

    Nostalgic Recollections Of Walter Mondale, Geraldine Ferraro, And Ronald Reagan

    The softer tone of our politics is recalled from the days when a young WDOR radio reporter put on a shirt and tie to cover national politicians.  Driving a Chevet to the Labor Day rally with Walter Mondale and Geraldine Ferraro or thrilling to the enormity of President Ronald Reagan stumping for this tax policy, there is a reminder that our politics while still rough and tumble, allowed for less bombast and meanness among the electorate. If you yearn for politics the way it once was, this professionally produced podcast by Gregory Humphrey is your free trip to the mid-1980s.
