Due North Political Podcast

Episode 17 of the Due North Political Podcast brings new cohost Ben Koppelman into the show. Ben made a strong debut with his perspective and wit.

The "My 2 Cents" segment debates whether Republicans can get upset victories in MN and whether MN is an outlier or will resemble other races across the country one month from now. The "Fire Away" segment discusses the poor messaging coming from the Trump Admin. ahead of the midterms. Three specific questions to the cohosts on what is causing the enthusiasm gap.

We did not have a "Hotseat Spotlight" segment due to a last minute cancellation. That segment will be back in episode 18. We hope you take a listen.

On Episode 16 of the Due North Political Podcast the four cohosts welcome Jonathan Fortner of the Lignite Energy Council to the "Hotseat Spotlight". The "My 2 Cents" segment debates the "Jury of your Peers" while we ride the train to crazy town. During "Fire Away" the cohosts respond to individual questions concerning the current coalition trying to get Trump through the November midterms and why while there maybe frustration, there is a clear delineation between the parties. Episode 16 ends with the always interesting "Lookie Here" segment.

On Episode 15 of the Due North Political Podcast we talk Trump and MAGA. The "My 2 Cents" segment gets the cohosts to speak to the amount of blame/pushback Trump/Pence/Biden deserve from the Covid fiasco. During "Fire Away" we discuss whether MAGA has changed the Republican party forever and if the Trump Admin. has been pressed hard enough from conservatives. The cohosts certainly had differing views during this segment. Blake Helmick from the Due North The Outdoorsmen Podcast joined entered the "Hotseat Spotlight" to talk hunting and the Lindsey Clancy trial. Our "Lookie Here" segment again brought leftist confusion and another win for America.

On Episode 14 of the Due North Political Podcast the discussion dives deep. The cohosts offer their "2 Cents" on Jon Harris's theory that you Must Win to Scale Up. Legislator Kathy Frelich joins the gang for the "Hotseat Spotlight". She provides insight into the ND Special Session that takes place next week. In the "Fire Away" segment the cohosts discuss representative Brandon Gill's remarks on - Everything that directly impacts your life – affordability, safety, cultural stability – all of it is downstream from immigration. This was a very interesting back and forth. Episode 14 ends with each cohosts "Lookie Here" recommendation, which always bring some shock value to your attention.

On episode 13's "Unplugged" segment the four cohosts discuss who is the best senator. The list is not as large as one would hope. Take a listen and see if you agree.

On Episode 13 of the Due North Political Podcast the discussion began with the "2 Cents" of the cohosts regarding a domestic "War" that needs to be urgently won. Fargo City Commissioner Michelle Turnberg joined the show in the "Hotseat Spotlight". She brought her always straight forward answers to the questions presented to her by the four cohosts. The "Fire Away" segment revolved around the premise that we are fooling ourselves if we think enough "good people" exist in politics to actually solve problems. Should we be considering a different path? The show's final segment "Lookie Here" once again brings to your attention news you may have missed. One graph may shock you.

We hope you enjoy episode 13. It was a fun night and thanks to Michelle for joining us.

On Episode 12's Unplugged edition the four cohosts pontificate on whether MAGA has been infiltrated, blocked, or is to be continued. Interesting takes from the guys. It is worth the listen.

Episode 12 of the Due North Political Podcast was terrific. The show opens with the cohosts "2 Cents" on who they would want sitting next to them on a 12 our flight. Can you guess who the one person was who was chosen twice?

The "Hotseat Spotlight" segment welcomed Bob Harms in for a discussion on Measure 2, the constitutional amendment for free school lunches in public schools. Bob brings his concerns and a wide ranging discussion takes place.

In the "Fire Away" segment we discuss DSA democrats with a reference to Game of Thrones.

Each show ends with "Lookie Here" suggestions from each host. This week they were shocking, bizarre, and laugh out loud hilarious. You will want to see the Mr. Bookman reference from Seinfeld. It is can't miss and brilliant.

In Episode 11's "Unplugged" edition the cohosts discuss the modern version of the National Enquirer and a famous PT Barnum quote.

On episode 11 of the Due North Political Podcast the cohosts begin with their "2 cents" on the moral considerations of AI and limiting principles.

The Hotseat Spotlight segment brings in guest Aaron Birst (Executive Director of ND Assoc of Counties). The cohosts discuss their questions with data center concerns in our State and across the country.

The "Fire Away" segment centers around the recent Supreme Court ruling on Birthright Citizenship.

We end with each of our "Lookie Here" suggestions.

It was a great show and we hope you watch and share with friends.
