  • Just for me

    When I started listening to Hit Dish I realized I was in my wheel house. I moved from liberal Denver to rural -and I mean RURAL - Wyoming. I lived it. In time. But I had some ‘learning’ to do. That blossoming of my own humanity and expansion of my world is present here. And I love it. Thank you Heidi.

  • Informative center-left perspective on issues facing rural America.

    This should be required listening for those running national politics and forming policies for the Democratic Party. Until more attention is earnestly given to meaningful issues raised in this podcast, the Dems will continue to lose small town America to those who want to make elections (the GOP) all about culture war battles.

  • Horrible Podcast

    Someone who says they are trying to bring the country together then goes and slanders someone on TV with no proof? Laughable.
