CTInsideOut

Hyperlocal political podcast focused on issues of the day, or in this case, issues from roughly September 2023, which sounds about right given the topic we're discussing.

On this one, we talked about TV a bit and it's actually more interesting and fun than that blowoff topic sounds. The reason we called this one "The Commercials Are Loud Again" is because while I was typing this, the commercials were BLARING for something called Vrbo and I refuse to find out what that is. Have another vowel or have nothing. Remember when there was a bipartisan effort to make the commercials be the same volume as the shows and now they're the loudest they've literally ever been? We don't discuss on the podcast, but we should have. Hey, you can't get to everything I guess. Also, Amazon Prime has commercials? How much money does Amazon need exactly? Anyway, we'll meet again at that place where all circles vanish.

On this very special episode of CT Inside Out, we go hyper local and take a look at the North Haven Democrats, how a series of baffling decisions lead to the party's representative organ turning away new volunteers, unceremoniously kicking off experienced civil servants, and creating fracturous divisions, all without winning a single election. And that's just the beginning. Part one in a planned series of four.

We discuss being terminally online, inside out, and how the unreal world of social media bleeds into the real world of local politics and makes it a very frustrating place to be indeed

On this episode, we return to the world of CT local politics and find that it is still a thing. As the great poet Aaron Staind once said, "It's been a while"

Will the twenties roar? Can we maybe try whimpering first?

Is there such a thing as too much screen time during a pandemic? Is a grand reassessment of our judgement on others coming to end given the tendency to throw your hands up lately and say "hey nothing else in this goddamned country works so why should I care about all this minor crap?" Am I just unloading a lot on you right now?

Even if, god willing, Trump is removed from the presidency, will he ever be removed from public life? Will his cronies wither?

Yeah, sorry for the repeat subject material, but school is back in session. How has it been going?
