Reviews

4.7 out of 5 stars from 12 ratings
  • Too politically left leaning

    I listen to the weekly news update to get a fair and balanced understanding of NH news. Unfortunately I feel that the host’s and guest’s left leaning opinions are abundantly clear. I like this podcast but I wish the reporting was more balanced.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Habeas Corpus petitions from ICE detainees increase in NH

Claremont acquires bank loan amid budget crisis; judge blocks DEI ban
Q: What does the DEI-related ruling mean for school districts in the near term?
Sruthi and Jeremy explain that the ruling delays penalties for districts failing to certify DEI compliance by the deadline, with a more lasting decision expected by September 18, potentially affecting how districts handle diversity policies and staff speech.
Claremont acquires bank loan amid budget crisis; judge blocks DEI ban
Q: What caused Claremont's budget crisis and how are they trying to stay afloat?
Jeremy explains that administrators had initially mischaracterized surpluses, leading to a delayed realization of the deficit, and the district secured a four million dollar loan to bridge until state payments arrive, while hoping for later adequacy payments.
Final State House votes, 2026 hopefuls, and an exploding meteor
Q: What would the BET filing threshold change mean for businesses and state revenue?
The BET was set to raise the filing threshold from $297,000 to $400,000, reducing the number of businesses subject to the tax, while a concurrent trigger mechanism could still lower the BET rate if revenue targets are exceeded, aiming to balance tax relief with maintaining state revenue and rainy-day reserves.
Final State House votes, 2026 hopefuls, and an exploding meteor
