  • A Cure for Information Fatigue

    Love this show! Not only does the Heartland Pod provide news, updates and information that gets lost in the chaos that is the news cycle these days, but it also gives a sense of grounding, lots of humor and some hope for a reasonable world. Also, Love the dynamic between Rachel, Adam and Sean (and the extra bit of snark from Rachel—bonus!). Keep it coming!

    Great podcast to hear what is happening in state politics with an emphasis on Missouri. Adam Sommers is always great and Jesse Piper’s Thursday podcast is a must listen to show.
