Political Playlist Happy Hour

On this happy hour, Michael and Anna sit down with Democratic Congressional candidate Jordan Wood. He's running for Maine's 2nd Congressional district, currently held by Playlister Jarred Golden, a Democrat in a very and we mean VERY purple district. Jordan talks a lot about how he's reaching across the aisle to speak to fellow Mainers about what matters most, and the challenges as well as the benefits of running in such a closely divided district. His primary is coming up, and we're really glad he stopped by to talk with us. He's super smart, and we think you'll like the conversation!

On this happy hour, Michael, Anna and Anthony tackle that age-old Jerry Seinfeld question "what's the deal with AI bipartisanship?" It's a good one, and one that we three tackle with equal parts fear and amazement, as the issue of AI and potential regulation is perhaps the only thing a profoundly divided Congress is finding common ground on. But the big questions remain, what will Congress actually do and more importantly, WHEN will they do it. Because while we love Claude, we do not want Claude to replace these three lovable podcast hosts!

On this episode of the Happy Hour, Michael and Anna sit down with Democratic Congressional candidate Dr. Everton Blair, who's running for Georgia's 13th district. He is 13th district through and through, having grown up in the area, and spent much of his career in education, ranging from Teach For America, to working in the Obama administration on Education initiatives, to most recently being the youngest Chairman of the Gwinnett County School Board, the largest school district in the state. And further complicating this Democratic primary is the fact that longtime incumbent Rep. David Scott suddenly passed away last week, throwing a new wrinkle into this important race.

On this Happy Hour, Michael, Anna and Anthony discuss how to talk about the latest shooting at the White House Correspondents Dinner, that was likely an assassination attempt on Trump, bringing the total number of attempts to four. This is an alarming and unprecedented number in recent time, and more troubling is the only discussion of conspiracy theories and people calling these staged. While the folks in the room that night--some were our friends--can certainly verify this wasn't staged, we thought it important to discuss WHY there are so many outrageous theories gaining online footings, and how we might look beyond that chatter to identify what the real issue is that we as a country need to solve.

On this Happy Hour, Michael and Anna sit down with Candidate George Hornedo, who's running for Congress in Indiana's 7th district, which is Indianapolis and the greater area. Surprisingly, it's a very un-gerrymandered district. Not surprisingly, the current guy has been in there for a while, and George is looking to shake things up. We had a great conversation with this lawyer turned Obama Administration worker turned Buttigieg 2020 campaign staffer turned...Congressman?! The primary is May 5th, so you bet we're tuning in!
