  • EC 8 A Millennial's Take on Pete's Fox Town Hall

    Darlene's and my niece Liz Determan, 27, is visiting us in Denver from Glendive, Montana. We played last night's Fox Town Hall with Pete Buttigieg for her today, our second time watching it. This led to a lively discussion that I hope you will enjoy.

  • EC 7 On the Road to Starbucks

    On a busy day, Darlene agreed to talk with me in the car as we are driving to Starbucks to buy some oatmeal. This gives me a chance to catch up after an 18-day gap in the podcast to talk about Pete Buttigieg and John Hickenlooper.

  • EC 6 Back Home in Denver

    On this day after we returned home to Denver from South Bend, Darlene and I compared notes of our impressions of South Bend. We had a full day in South Bend Monday after Pete Buttigieg‘s announcement Sunday, to eat at some restaurants, and I had to go to a clinic because it turned out I had a case of strep. Darlene had a good conversations over several days with Stephanie, the proprietor of our bed-and-breakfast, the Innisfree. The photo shows our memento from the trip which is the South Bend newspaper’s account of their mayor’s announcement that he is running for president.

  • EC 5 After the Announcement
    Back at the bed-and-breakfast Darlene and I recall our experience today at Pete Buttigieg‘s announcement on a cold rainy windy day here in South Bend. We finished our volunteering work and that enabled us to get very close to the stage for his announcement and the endless number of speeches that were made before it. I had a difficult time standing up that long and ended up sitting on the wet concrete floor for a while. It was all worth it to hear this remarkable young man make it official: “My name is Pete Buttigieg. They call me Mayor Pete. I’m a proud son of South Bend, Indiana, and I am running for President of the United States.” It was a moment that may well turn into a movement.

  • EC 4 Volunteer Notes
    Darlene and I review our work so far as volunteers at the Pete Buttigieg announcement event. We have been gathering contact information from people as they arrive. It is rainy, cold and windy outside, so the conditions are not great. I am glad I brought warm boots! #peteforamerica

  • EC 3 Live from South Bend!
    This is a report of our first impressions of South Bend and our connection with the campaign that will result in a chance to volunteer tomorrow morning at the announcement event. The photo was taken by a campaign staffer at the Buttigieg headquarters in a hallway where there is a huge sign helping people to pronounce the candidate’s name. #PeteForAmerica

  • EC 1 South Bend or Bust?
    With the first official episode of this podcast I’m changing the name to edge cast and in this episode I will share the possibility that my wife and I will attend the official announcement of Pete Buttigieg his candidacy in South Bend on April 14. Not sure if all the pieces will fall into place but it’s an exciting prospect to consider. Also my idea for how candidates like Pete and John Hickenlooper could use anchor to do a daily podcast on the campaign trail.

  • EOF 0 - Pilot episode
    EOF 0 This is a pilot episode of a new podcast that I am going to launch. It will be mainly about politics and will give me a chance to talk about the political scene separate from my long-running Kindle Chronicles podcast. There may be other aspects of the future that I will be talking about, but for now my main interest is going to be the Democratic side of the Presidential nominating process. So far, I am closely following John Hickenlooper and Pete Buttigieg.
