It's a place that was supposed to nurture them, that instead hurt them – in some of the worst ways imaginable. It's now at the center of one of the biggest youth detention scandals in American history. How did this happen – and how did it finally come to light?

"Make Room"
New Hampshire’s “stranglehold” on the way we pick presidents could be losing its grip. The Democratic Party changed its presidential nominating calendar to give voters of color more sway. But New Hampshire isn’t backing down, setting up a major test of the stranglehold and its power.

What's It Worth?
There is nothing New Hampshire is more famous for than the presidential primary. And that fame has a value of its own. A value greater than dollars spent or earned. In this episode, we try to answer the question: How does that value help to explain this state’s stranglehold on the presidential nominating process?

Customer Reviews
Pulls back the curtain.
My DH is a native Nher, and has always been very proud of the First in the Nation status. He was fascinated by the podcast, and recommended it to his siblings. Well researched and reported.
Stranglehold.
Complete drivel. The media personalities love to hear themselves in their echo chamber. 2020 NH primary. Talk about the person who won the Primary. It’s just too hard to step out of your echo chamber. This is nothing but NPR and Dem Corp. porno.
Important
I’m a recent NH resident and I’ve felt a responsibility to educate myself not just on the candidates, but on the process that makes voting here so big. This podcast has helped answer questions and has caused me to question a lot.
