Former Rep. Rick Glazier was once one of the most powerful legislators in the General Assembly.  The Fayetteville Democrat, who now leads the NC Justice Center, made a point to include Republicans on his legislation, including a bill he considers his most important work: the creation of the NC Innocence Inquiry Commission, which continues to make news today.  

Rick recounts his partnership on that bill with former Rep. Paul (Skip) Stam, a conservative stalwart, and how they worked past their differences to find common ground, and even friendship.  

Skye and Brian run down a few notable House and Senate primary races, talk about a complicated veto override vote next week, and celebrate the podcast's one-year anniversary by sharing an early (and comical) draft of the show's format.
