- News
Politics can be infuriating. The movers and shakers of Washington can sometimes feel unreachable from the plains of the Heartland. But our communities host governments and entire political spheres of their own, and they are the ones that affect our everyday lives. Join us as we uncover and understand these spheres, hosting interviews with politicians and citizens. If you're frustrated with the Missouri roads, this is the podcast for you. If you're not sure who your city council member is, give us a listen. And if you care about bettering our great city, we are the podcast for you.
