This week on the podcast, I get to discuss local and state races with a guy whose political acumen I admire and respect, Matt Szafranski. Matt, an attorney and writer, is the founder of Western Mass Politics and Insight blog (https://wmasspi.com) and has been writing about politics since 2006.

We talk about the outcomes of the recent preliminary and what's coming up in November besides the presidential election.

After that discussion I'll share my opinion about the sale of the historic Paramount Theater in downtown Springfield
