A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

In a world where FACTS matter, this is a fabulous podcast for information. I enjoy learning about the bills and statehouse happenings, but most importantly how to initiate taking actions to make a difference.

Informative and succinct, now a regular part of my commute weekly!! Thank you for creating this podcast. Only for those of us with poor memory for numbers and bills, can you please reiterate what certain bills are when you mention them in the podcast?

I really enjoy this quick and informative pod case. My only complaint would be it is a little echoey and hard to listen to at times. I followed you all through Covid and greatly appreciated your updates

Whitjanae · Apr 2025

THANK YOU for these quick, thoughtful, easy to understand updates, I appreciate you so much! I hope you’ll continue providing content even after the legislative session ends, since the world of public health is under continuous assault right now.
