    Today's podcast guests are Dan Blom and Jay Senter from the Prairie Village Post, a hyper-local online newspaper serving Northeast Johnson County.  The discussion is on media - the rise of hyper-local online media, the fall of mainstream media (especially newspapers), and the Brownback administration's treatment of media that even remotely question his policies.

    Today's beer is Freestyle Pilsner by Santa Fe Brewing Company.

    Due to a major scheduling conflict, Mike was unable to be at today's recording.

    7. Episode 17 - Emily Perry and Stephanie Clayton
      Episode 17 is truly bipartisan as we host Kansas State Representatives Emily Perry (D-Mission) and Stephanie Clayton (R-Overland Park).  We once again discuss with our elected officials the goings-on in Topeka.

      The beer for this episode is Tallgrass Brewery's Halcyon Unfiltered Wheat.

      It is worth noting that Rep. Clayton was Zach's opponent in the 2012 election for the 19th State House District seat.
