    The Politician On Our Playlist: Delegate Joe Vogel

    06/04/2026 | 38 mins.
    On this episode of the Happy Hour, Michael and Anna sit down with Delegate Joe Vogel, a member of the Maryland State House of Delegates (their fancy name for state reps) representing district 17. Joe is not yet thirty years old, but has the experience and resume of someone twice his age, and let's just say, we're impressed. We discuss his entrance into politics, his background and why he considers himself a "pragmatic progressive." He is indeed, among the youngest helping to shape our political future.

    Primary Watch: Candidate Eric Jones

    05/28/2026 | 53 mins.
    On this episode of Political Playlist Happy Hour, Michael and Anna continue their exiting new "Primary Watch" series with Candidate Eric Jones. Eric is a businessman and nonprofit executive running in California's 4th Congressional District against a 14 term incumbent! Affordability, healthcare and housing are his biggest issues, and he has vowed not to accept corporate PAC money or lobbyist donations. This seems to be a growing trend among our new young leaders, and for good reason! We get into all that with Eric, as well as the biggest challenges facing his district and our home state of California.

    How To Talk About: Data Centers

    05/19/2026 | 38 mins.
    On this episode of the Happy Hour, Michael and Anna discuss How To Talk About Data Centers, specifically the one in Utah that Shark Tank's own Mr. Wonderful is trying to build at the expense of the taxpayers--oh, and the whole environment of the state of Utah. He even got into a combative interview with the new People's Hero Tucker Carlson over why taxpayers should fund this type of project. Data centers are all the rage right now, given the exponential growth of AI, and the massive computing power needs of these systems. So whether you use Claude or not, you better believe AI is here to stay and we better have a plan for how to safely do this.
