April 24, 2015: This week, Larry and Paul talk about PAC money and endorsements in the City Council race, and why glass is trash, paper is gold and beer is almost always good news.

April 17, 2015: In a special extended edition of the podcast this week, Larry and Paul speak with their guest, Harrisburg Mayor Eric Papenfuse, about myriad issues from his first year-and-change in office. They discuss public safety, schools, mayoral power and Papenfuse's political history and future ambitions - and also get the mayor's endorsements for the 10-way City Council race this year. "Being mayor is a tough job," he tells them. It "requires standing up for what's right, pushing when you need to push, and trying to bring things into the public light when they need to be brought in."

Feb. 27, 2015: Larry and Paul try (and mostly fail) to speed through the many topics of a newsy week. Among the topics of discussion: the once-a-year Airing of Greivances before the city's parking committee, a partial victory for lawyers, guns and money, the rejection of a land sale and the newest edition of TheBurg. And the answer to a piece of Harrisburg trivia. Q: What drives Harrisburg residents to council meetings in droves? Clue: It rhymes with "balsa music."
