Summary
Governor Roy Cooper stops by to talk Medicaid expansion, abortion access, and the fight for democracy in North Carolina, before telling us how to live it up in the Tar Heel State. Drag Race star LaLa Ri gets as congenial as possible given… the world. Tressie McMillan Cottom talks books, bans, and blondes. We spend a Happy Hour with our audience’s high notes, and we go a round with the Carolina Rant-thers. Look, not every Rant Wheel pun is going to work, but when you’re in beautiful Asheville, a city we could move to tomorrow, you just don’t care.
