  • Lynda is good - get rid of the guy!

    Would like the show if the whinny socialist guy would leave or be quite. He adds nothing . Would rather hear callers thoughts without his high pitched lefty comments interruptions. Will check back in when he is gone.

  • Awful co-host

    What would otherwise be a good podcast is ruined by its male co-host; the co-host frequently chimes in with verbal sound bites that add no value to the show. Furthermore, he yells during his special segments and editorials which are utterly irritating to listen to. Without him, this would be a much better program.

  • Its okay

    Her main co-host is a bit of a yes-man. Always agreeing with her in an over the top way. I dont like the call-in segment either. She doesnt have a conversation with callers which is awkward to listen to.

Q: Do you think this recent flooding situation will change things at a governmental level?
It's easy to get cynical about the government doing something after so many floods, but I know that the Mayor is dedicated to seeing improvements made.

Q: What have you been hearing from other farmers over the last few days in the area?
Largely, we're just fed up with it. This is the third high water event we've dealt with in five years, and it's frustrating that this is our reality.
