Organic, unforced discussion and a relaxed interview format. Very engaging so far. Would love to see a Twitter presence- for listeners to expand (or pounce) on the topics. Looking forward to the next episode.
Good Start, Check the Bias

I think most of us who do not represent the extreme left or right or hungry for unbiased information. Starting off with an interview of Governor Ducey appears to represent a commitment to presenting information relevant to all Arizonans - and Governor Ducey did a great job of explaining his values, and what drives him in the face of challenging questions from Welch. What will “tell the tale” on this pod is whether Welch presses his guests on the left with equal vigor.
