    Stockholm Syndrome

    In today's episode, Deputy Communications Director Lindsey Hanlon is joined by her good friend Richard Ford Burley. Richard originally hails from Canada and currently lives in New Hampshire, making him the perfect test subject for today's topic: testing how outsiders react to Wyoming politics! We Wyomingites develop something similar to Stockholm Syndrome, where we stop thinking that there is anything strange about just how unusual Wyoming politics can be. With a bit of outside perspective and a lot of laughter, we can see the oddities in our system. Support the show
