Summary

While I'm on the road this week, the staff at The North Star will be playing re-run episodes of The Breakdown as well as some of our favorite episodes from some of our other podcast series. Thanks for tuning in!

Most of my close friends think that Democrats will squander this moment. Call me foolish, but I still have some hope.
