The Perfunctory Podcast

We spend some time with JGB to talk about her mom, Esther Golar, and what motherhood means to her. But that's not it. As always we talk a little lawmaking and politics.

Like the true procrastinator he is, Z fires up the Class of '22 project with Mary Beth Canty and Laura Favor Dias. How are they feeling about Spring Session? Watching the rollercoaster and not riding it. Origin Stories (with a surprising twist!). And Mother's Day as a Member.

Mike and Ron preview the primary on Tuesday. The guys have some polling to look at and some conclusions to draw.

Early voting starts Thursday. Who’s voting? What’s working (and not)? Senate and IL09 lead the chatter. And Ron gets ran up on at Church.

Mike Z interviews President Pro Tempore, Sen. Bill Cunningham in another great episode.
