For the season three premiere of Dispatches from Planet Albany we're checking in with Tusk Strategies Partner Shontell Smith to discuss Lt. Gov. Antonio Delgado's flirtation with a gubernatorial run, the legislative ramifications of violent murders captured on video, the likelihood of changes to school aid distribution, and whether Gov. Kathy Hochul will be able to deliver on her promise of "Inflation Refund" checks.

We are also soliciting questions for Shontell and host David Lombardo to answer in a future episode. Is there something you want to know about Planet Albany? Want us to weigh in on pop culture? Curious about our personal lives? Leave a voicemail (that we might play on the air) at (518) 650-1463 or write to [email protected] with your question and we'll do our best to provide answers.
