For the Good of the Public | The Morning Five episodes

July 09, 2023 Episode 72: We Answer Audience Questions - Cocaine Controversy, Florida Politics, Forward Party, UFOs & More
Welcome to another week on Wear We Are. First, cocaine was found at the White House this past week, and we couldn't help but talk about it. Next, we answer the latest round of listener questions, prompted by a question on our favorite kind of political comedy. If you want to listen to our episode specifically on ranked choice voting, our most popular episode, ⁠it's #32.
News on the power ranking: we'll cover it monthly, starting in August, and we'll also include a pasta shape ranking because - why not?
