Recorded in November 2016, during his first term, former Gov. John Bel Edwards reflected on a gubernatorial hunting trip that ended with him taking an elk from 260 yards away in the snow, from one edge of a canyon to another.

Russell Long, who explains in his own voice why the definition of "a statesman is a dead politician."
