Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Abigail and Malia March on Washington
Q: Why did you two choose to pursue reporting from outside Washington State and the UK?
We believed a nationwide platform could exert external pressure that local outlets were unlikely to generate, helping to drive accountability for state-level mismanagement.

Q: So Sarah, how did you come to be the editor for that show?
She got the role through notable connections at Hillsdale and a sequence of encouragements, moving from interest to an official position after a prior outreach.
