Political Pursuits: The Podcast

Political Pursuits: The Podcast, hosted by Lou Ann Anderson, takes a look at the political gamesmanship pursued throughout our country, throughout even our world. We curate political news and current events – and do it with an eye for not just who is making certain moves, but also for what the moves mean, why they matter and how an opponent might react. For better or worse, all of these characteristics are trackable and in evidence with regard to the gamesmanship seen in today’s political landscapes. We hope you’ll join us at Political Pursuits as we offer our bent on how today’s issues are impacted in this game-playing environment. The game is afoot! louannanderson.substack.com

  1. The California Communist and the Minnesota Marxist

    The California Communist and the Minnesota Marxist

    Think freedom isn’t on the November ballot? Think again as the principles of liberty - principles on which this country was founded - are challenged in the form of a California Communist and a Minnesota Marxist. Stated differently, personified in the form of Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris and her running mate Tim Walz, a life-ending threat of America as we know it is real and potentially looming. Lou Ann Anderson of Political Pursuits and Lynn Woolley of Planet Logic discuss what’s at stake along with the power alliance of Donald Trump, J.D. Vance and now Robert Kennedy, Jr. As an important coalition of freedom fighters emerges to again make America great, healthy, prosperous, safe and so much more, Harris seems dedicated to avoiding media interactions and to taking no serious positions on the policies and issues about which voters care most. Hope you’ll join Lynn and Lou Ann for their take on a pivotal election poised for many more twists and turns as November approaches.

  2. The World the Way It Is

    The World the Way It Is

    Financial markets are tanking, Middle East tensions are escalating and the American political system is in a cycle unlike any other ever seen. The Democrats are skipping steps in our traditional electoral process. Tenets once seen as basic, even sacred, no longer seem to apply. Things like robust competition between candidates, basic consent of the governed regarding rules and process, the opportunity to cast one’s vote for those ostensibly tapped to represent your interests. These items are evidently passé since “the future is now.” These “shortcuts” are creating an electoral environment that threatens the rights and future freedom of all Americans – regardless of party, ideology or even interest in politics.   Lou Ann Anderson of Political Pursuits and Lynn Woolley of Planet Logic break down today’s headlines including their analysis of potential Democratic vice president candidates. They discuss the way the world is today and what might be ahead. Lou Ann Anderson worked in central Texas talk radio as both a host and producer and currently hosts Political Pursuits: The Podcast.

    Texas School Choice and the Bellstocracy

    Ahead of Texas’ March 5 primary, Planet Logic’s Lynn Woolley and Political Pursuits’ Lou Ann Anderson discuss the House District 55 race which pits incumbent Rep. Hugh Shine, R-Temple, against three challengers including Hillary Hickland, a ninth generation Texan, mother of four and school choice advocate.     In this race of mounting intensity, school choice is a critical issue that also highlights Bell County’s changing local dynamics.  Lynn and Lou Ann discuss these electoral factors as well as the public education industry’s 1-2 punch of encouraging Democrats to vote in the Republican primary while what seem as school district electioneering efforts promote similar actions with even public school industry allies like Raise Your Hand Texas getting in the act. Lou Ann Anderson is a writer, former radio producer and current podcaster at Political Pursuits.  Her tenure as Watchdog Wire–Texas editor involved covering state news and coordinating the site’s citizen journalist network.
