Description

Do you find yourself to be politically homeless?  Do you feel like nobody represents you in Washington or state/local government?  Are you tired of rising rhetoric and hyperpartisanship?  Are you finding that you are affording less regardless of which party is in power?  This podcast is for you.  


I am in the middle.  I am registered unaffiliated.  But we need to do more than simply change our voter registrations.  And we certainly cannot afford to completely opt out of politics.  We must engage if we want real change.  


This podcast is a step towards that change.  But real change happens when listeners decide to do more than just listen - when they decide to act.  My hope is that listening motivates you to take that step, no matter how small, to make your community better.

Trump is the most resiliant politician in American history. He has survived scandals, two impeachments, criminal indictments, and an election loss. This is different. The unraveling of his influence has begun. Democrats will take over the House in November - and possibly the Senate. Equally important, after Election Day he becomes a lame duck president. Broken promises. Low approval ratings. Families struggling economically to afford groceries, utilities, gas, and rent/mortgages.&...

Shelly Headen is a Democrat running in a competitive State House district in North Carolina trying to unseat a long-serving Republican. She is a vital component of the North Carolina Democratic Party's efforts to flip the state legislature for the first time in over a decade. Over the weekend, the Party abandoned her. Why?
