Great information for NC voters
Thank you for continuing to do this podcast. I stay more informed because of it.
Informative and fun

Great podcast
I loved the “Squeeze the Cactus” episode. Listening to it has drastically improved my life. Coffee tastes sweeter, my friends find me more tolerable and my children finally listen to me. The first thing I said is true.
