Customer Reviews
Concise and Thoughtful
Due to the political climate and news deserts, I think gen z (me) doesn’t learn much about state and local politics. This podcast has helped me be more in tune to politics that affect me just as much as the national politics we tend to focus on so much. I love hearing Hannah’s and Charlie’s takes each week. Thank you for this podcast!
Not great
I live in Springfield, but this is a very liberal narrow view of politics, nothing more.
“You Know”
I love the insight and appreciate the show so much. If you are feeling adventurous, try a drinking game every time someone says “you know.”
