After nearly five months off the air, the show is back! This time around I fill in you on the recent updates in my life, my new extendo-microphone arm, and most importantly, I give my thoughts on the recent political happenings, specifically Mitt Romney's vote to impeach Donald Trump on the first article of impeachment: abuse of power.

Today's episode marks the beginning of a two-part series in which I sit down with members of both the BYU Democrats and BYU Republicans clubs. 

In this episode I ask about the purpose of political party clubs in college, where the GOP stands with Trump, what a post-Trump future looks like, among other pertinent issues.
