Good for local ND politics.

I like that Rob brings in co-hosts with different political views than his own to discuss local ND politics. It makes for a nice discussion that isn’t always one sided. Don’t always agree with Rob’s views, but find his take informative.
Recommend!

A great way to learn about North Dakota government. I learn things every episode and recommend it to my friends regularly.
The thoughtfulness we need
Jan 24
I’m so grateful to have found this podcast last fall during election season. I was tired of the presidential news cycle and wanted to hear about candidates and issues that will affect me in my day-to-day life. I find Chad and Rob to be thoughtful with their questions, knowledgeable about how the government works (or should work) and willing to change their minds. I have also appreciated getting to know public figures who are important in my state. Definitely recommend!
10/10 would recommend

In a world of civil discourse being almost nonexistent its nice to finally find a podcast where two opposing sides can come together and have a civil discourse about the issues facing not only our country but our state as well. Rob sounds very knowledgeable and keeps the peace very well between two opposing side who normally couldn't talk civilly if their lives depended on it. 10/10 would recommend this podcast to anyone who enjoy politics or simply wants to learn more about the issues we citizens face on a daily basis
