Record Talk Listen

Our 2016 election cycle has raised a lot of questions about process of electing a presidential candidate. I thought it was time for some facts so, I consulted Dr. John O'Rorke. He has been a professor of Political Science at Frostburg State University for the past 25 years. We had a very FUN, engaging, and fact filled interview about how our election cycle works and why your vote is always important. Dr. O'Rorke will be a feature on our podcast in the future so if you have any questions for a future episode contact us HERE
