Good episode. I hope you can have him back and get his take on the recent election results.
I always learn something new and get introduced to interesting people! Must listen for anyone who wants to understand what’s actually going on in North Carolina.
Here’s a holler to y’all and a hat tip to the drawl from Raleigh via RoCo (I grew up between Eden and Reidsville). I’m glad to have discovered your podcast, recommended to me by some like-minded friends. Keep up the great work!
Found y’all on YouTube since HCR is my go-to these days. What an excellent interview and I can’t wait to hear when she comes back (hopefully to visit us in NC) and reads the Lincoln letter. Keep up the good work and Nolite te bastardes carborundorum!
Daniel and Quinn are the most down to earth, knowledgeable and relatable podcast hosts around. If you want to hear fun and interesting interviews with North Carolinians, this is the place for you! Be sure to follow them on IG and social media because they post great reels and videos about NC politics and other issues. Couldn’t recommend the Hometown Holler more!!
