New Hampshire Holidays

Each week Anna Brown and Mike Dunbar of Citizens Count break down a New Hampshire bill that has an upcoming hearing, vote, or other opportunity for public input.  Citizens Count focuses on lesser-known policy proposals that could have a big impact on the lives of Granite Staters. The show is completely nonpartisan, and the hosts give you the pros and cons from both sides. 
The podcast is produced by The Marlin Fitzwater Center for Communication at Franklin Pierce University and supported by The Granite State News Collaborative.
