  • Making the impossible, possible in 2025

    Tim Boyum makes the impossible possible. He provides terrific information for NC citizens & presents it straight down the middle. Not easily accomplished in our current political environment - informative topics, intelligent guests, & expert moderating.

    Tim, after your EV trip across the country, I really wanted to know your thoughts - would you buy one?!?! The fact that I don’t know (& you didn’t answer) is the point - terrific journalism. Keep the valuable information coming!
