John is running alongside Wendy Cato and Artie Logan, and has been on the city council scene since the vacancy of the District 4 scene resulting from Mayor Ronnie Thompson's win in 2015. We talk about his background, motivations, Red White & Bluegrass Festival, $20 Vehicle Tax, downtown master plan, the needs of morganton citizens that do not live downtown, brunch bill, and local high school politics.

We conclude the Election 2016 candidate interviews with our current representative in the NC House! Blackwell has served us in state government for the past eight years, and has fought for cool things like the loop trail around Lake James and the inclusion of the NC School of Science and Math in the latest bond initiative. We cover same topics as we do with the other state candidates - HB2, tax code, cannabis legalization, and gerrymandering, among others. Special thanks to all those who asked community questions, our master of ceremonies Phillip Epley, Bombhouse Recording and Dandelion.  #50 - Hugh Blackwell wants to stay our NC House Rep.

Download Local Episcopal Priest Jim Dahlin joins us to talk about the mass murder in Las Vegas last night, why God would allow something like that to happen, the book of Job, racial injustice, NFL protests, and Confederate statues. It's long, but totally worth it.

Cameron Carroll and Casey Reid, both veterans and owners of The Nook Homebrew & Tavern, join us to weigh in on the discussion surrounding this weekend's NFL protests, racial injustice, and how to respect the flag.

Download Sam and Isaac discuss why (or why not) churches and religious institutions should remain tax exempt.  They also display their inept abilities to recall the specifics of Bernie Sander's health care campaign proposals and attempt to answer the most pressing question of our time: Is Donald Trump a racist, or simply a big orange bafoon?

Download   We sit down for a chat with Cameron Brent Carroll about his new store The Nook Homebrew & Tavern in downtown Morganton. We talk about whether or not the city can sustain more bars, the middle ground between free market capitalism and government intervention, and why our country is unable to do anything significant about the most pressing problem of our generation, human-caused global warming.
