Really enjoying this! I love how the co-hosts provide unique insight into the Southern political landscape and specifically the NC political climate. I’ve learned a few things and find the co-hosts to be relatable. Also loving the musical artist mentions!
To be clear, “girlies” is gender neutral here. Being a girlie is all about the vibe. But this is a must-listen podcast for all my NC politics girlies!
This is a MUST listen, esp if you love NC!
