Welcome once again to the Conversations That Matter Podcast. I am your host John Harris as

always here with another interesting episode. I think many of you will find this

interesting. This is a little different than a lot of the episodes that I do.

I think I've been getting gutsy.

And I'm seeing this kind of thing, these new networks popping up everywhere that don't have these

controls on them. And so we're going to talk to my

guest today Alan Harrelson about that. We're also going to talk about the great sorts, people

moving from blue states to red states or blue areas to red areas because Alan is part of that.

Alan Harrelson. Thanks for coming on the podcast and talking.

supper with you in Mississippi when that was maybe
