Aloha and namaste everyone and welcome to Impolitic with John Heilman, a puck and

Odyssey joint featuring lively in-depth, sometimes just ever so slightly profane conversations

with the people who roam the corridors of power and influence in America, weaving the

warp and wept of our politics and culture. We are exactly one week out from January 20th, inauguration day.
