  • Really engaging and wide-ranging

    A friend sent me an episode to check out. Despite not living in ABQ myself, I was still compelled by the stories and interviews. It’s interesting to hear hyper local perspectives juxtaposed with the daily political headlines we’re bombarded with. These guys do a good job of covering real issues without wading into partisan waters.
