  • News From Home

    I'm really happy MPBS started this as a podcast. I'm part of an old tradition in Maine of men who have to leave the state in order to support their family. When I'm gone, which is over half of the year, T.D.I.M. keeps me informed and a little closer to home. Barbra Cariddi rocks!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Thursday, September 24th, 2026: How allegations of a "pay-for-play" scheme involving Sen. Susan Collins are impacting Maine's Senate race
Q: Obviously, there's a lot to get into here. But Steve, can you give us a brief summary of what the ProPublica article alleges?
The article alleges a pay-for-play scheme where Collins helped steer defense contracts to Navatec in exchange for donations to a pro-Collins PAC; the CEO was later convicted of money laundering and bank fraud, and there are claims of FBI corroboration, though the episode also notes the investigation was disrupted during the Trump administration.
Thursday, September 3rd, 2026: Troy Jackson holds first town halls; York voters to consider banning Flock cameras
Q: What is driving Troy Jackson's campaign approach in the early stages of the race?
The host and analyst suggest Jackson is building the campaign infrastructure—staffing, fundraising, and events—while trying to replicate Plattner's outreach in a more measured way, with a focus on grassroots support rather than high-profile appearances.
Friday, March 13th, 2026: Press Herald investigation reveals text messages between local police and ICE during enforcement surge; Bangor nurses plan one-day strike

Rachel Estabrook explains it included a Homeland Security agent, South Portland Police Chief Daniel Ahern, and Portland Police Major Jason King, with discussions focusing on protest safety rather than immigration enforcement specifics.
Thursday, December 11th, 2025: House passes Rep. Golden's collective bargaining bill; new solar array in Sanford
Q: What happens now with Golden's bill?
It goes to the Senate where it faces uncertainty as it requires 60 votes to advance.
Thursday, December 11th, 2025: House passes Rep. Golden's collective bargaining bill; new solar array in Sanford
