For Women's History Month, Sophie and guest-host Carly reflect on some of our best conversations with Republican Senate women. Hear why the GOP is full of opportunity, why men may be hesitant to run against a woman, how perspectives have changed now that women serve in combat, and much more.

How did pushing for a bike trail get Sen. Thom Tillis started in politics? He shares that story, along with the shocking number of “Toms” in his family, why he has an “h” in his name, the measures he was willing to take to turn around the business climate and growth in North Carolina, and what it really takes to get things done in the U.S. Senate.

Senator John Hoeven of North Dakota was America’s most popular governor before coming to the U.S. Senate. Listen to hear why he’s so charming as he gives us the story behind his famous moustache, briefs us on the correct pronunciation of Bison (did you get it right?), shares how the rest of the country can benefit from what North Dakota has done, and reminds us of a rule he lives by that would make the world a better place.

U.S. Senate Chaplain Barry Black has a memory you have to hear to believe. He gives us an astonishing demonstration, talks about his role of nearly 21 years, recommends books to educate and classic movies to entertain, AND reveals why he wears a bow tie. Truly a remarkable man worth listening to.

He loves soccer. He’s had cocktails with Margaret Thatcher. He’s gone from serving on the border as a Marine to serving in the U.S. Senate during Biden’s border crisis. He sees potential catastrophes and huge upsides in AI. And he might just be obsessed with a particular fast food establishment. Ladies and gentlemen, Senator Todd Young of Indiana.

Senator Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming wants you to know how to pronounce her name. She also wants you to know all about Bitcoin. She stops by the studio to tell us about growing up on a ranch, how big rodeo is in her state, and why “work hard, play hard” are words she lives by.

Mississippi wants to be known for a lot more than the best way to count the seconds passing by. Sen. Roger Wicker tells us how Mississippi is becoming a tech hub, discusses astounding progress in education, reveals how the state will be crucial in deep-sea exploration, and chats about the success of Mississippi college athletics.

Of course Sen. Mike Rounds discusses Mount Rushmore, but he also touches on an upcoming South Dakota monument SIX TIMES BIGGER! We also hear how beer played a big role in spurring his political career, learn why the capital of Pierre isn't pronounced like it's written, break down "Tiger Meat", and hear Sen. Rounds' thoughts on Christmas Spirit.

2 Lankfords for the price of one! Sen. James Lankford's wife Cindy joins us from their home in Oklahoma, on this special podcast leading up to Christmas. They reveal the secret to their marriage, take a Couples Quiz, and share their Christmas traditions.

Iowa’s Senator Chuck Grassley nails it when he tells us how far he’s willing to go for his constituents (pun intended). And whether exercising, farming, or staying in touch…he refuses to let age slow him down. Hear for yourself from a man who literally watches the corn grow, then tweets about it afterwards. #cornwatch #relentless Senator
