4.4 out of 5 stars from 24 ratings
  • Good content

    Really important conversations. I think the questions are a bit too pre-prepared. It would be better if the questions were a bit more spontaneous.

  • Excellent but need more

    Love the conversations between these two. They provide the perspectives and type of leadership that the Democratic Party desperately needs. That being said, both of these Reps. have been silent on what’s going on with ICE in Minnesota and the murder of Renee Good. Step up, you two. As the Christians you claim to be.

    It tells me that all of the episodes are “unavailable at the moment.” I hope I’m able to hear them.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Hickory Nut Gap
Q: How important is it that an elected official lives in the place they represent?
He argues that firsthand experience of the community builds understanding of residents' needs and fosters genuine relationships, suggesting that local roots help bridge divides and guide policy decisions more effectively.
Hickory Nut Gap
Q: What time do you wake up in the morning? And when you picture a busy day in your world, what happens before most people are even awake?
He describes a fairly early start on the farm, with chores beginning around eight, moving livestock, and overseeing daily operations; the schedule centers on steady, hands-on management rather than rapid change, followed by leadership duties and planning.
Loyal to the Soil: Work, Place, and the People Who Stay
Q: What would it mean for Washington to truly support communities like yours, not in theory, but in a way you could actually feel?
Fishermen do not ask for subsidies or handouts; they want to work hard and provide for their families through their trade.
Deciding to Listen: What Voters Actually Want
Q: Is there an issue that Washington, DC thinks is a top tier priority, but the average swing voter doesn't put it in their top five concerns?
Many Democratic elites focus on issues like threats to democracy that average voters don't prioritize, missing economic issues that matter to them.
Deciding to Listen: What Voters Actually Want
Q: When you think about the way people describe their own lives, the stress, pressure, exhaustion, what do you think political leaders are missing most about that experience?
Political leaders often misinterpret voters' frustrations as a demand for radical change when voters are actually asking for attention to their material interests.
