  • Domecast No. 33

    Domecast, our weekly podcast on government and politics in North Carolina, is ready for the weekend of Dec. 19-20.

    On the closing arc of 2016 candidate filing, some notable names have dropped out of General Assembly races in last-minute fashion — the Senate’s longest-serving member among them — joining several other incumbents known for their positions of power. What does this mean for the anatomy of the legislature? Lynn Bonner & Colin Campbell of The News & Observer walk us through it with a roundup of exiting incumbents.
    In our second segment, The N&O’s Craig Jarvis gives us the latest on the 2016 bond campaign while The Insider’s Benjamin Brown talks potential changes to the state’s problematic system for allocating economic aid to counties.
    As always, we cross the finish line with our Headliners of the Week — a very special edition this time around. Andy Curliss of The N&O hosts.
    The Domecast is available and can be subscribed to on iTunes.

  • Domecast No. 31

    Domecast, our weekly podcast on government and politics in North Carolina, is ready for the weekend of Dec. 4-5.

    The filing period for the 2016 elections has begun, and we pore through some of the standout races ahead — not the least of which is for governor of North Carolina. We look at the campaign video Gov. Pat McCrory put out this week with a statement about having been unemployed. It led to a fact-check, and then a criticism of the fact-check, which we sort out on this week’s episode. We also check into some of the candidate filings, races to watch and some surprise announcements from incumbents this week. As always, we close out with our popular Headliners of the Week segment. In the studio this week are Colin Campbell and Craig Jarvis of The News & Observer with Benjamin Brown of The Insider. Patrick Gannon, Insider editor, hosts.

Department of Environmental Quality (formerly the Department of Environment and Natural Resources) and coal ash. Then we get into a little General Assembly trivia with Colin Campbell of The N&O and Benjamin Brown of The Insider. What legislators stood out this session and why?
