Tying It Together with Tim Boyum

This week, the two Republican candidates for State Auditor, Jack Clark and Dave Boliek, join host Tim Boyum.

The two aim share their backgrounds with voters, what they hope to bring to this elected position and their focus if elected. Neither got the 30%+ necessary to avoid a runoff and face the current state auditor, Democrat Jessica Holmes, in the fall.

The candidates will face off in the second primary on May 14.

Just weeks after No Labels announced it would not have a presidential ticket, one of the original leaders of the third party joins host Tim Boyum to talk about why.

Former North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory discusses the failed effort and whether a third party ever has a chance of success in our country.

Later, the two talk about the North Carolina governor's race and McCrory's new job as a TV host.

Yes, it's a little early, but this week we are talking about Memorial Day.

The year 2024 marks the centennial of Raleigh's observance of national Memorial Day. Oakwood Cemetery hosts the event every year and is the final resting place for seven former governors, five U.S. Senators, eight state Supreme Court Justices, and four Civil War generals.

This week, the authors of a new book on the topic join host Tim Boyum. The group shares a fascinating talk about the cemetery's history and the incredible stories.

Later, they discuss the immense amount of N.C. State fans visiting former basketball coach Jim Valvano's grave as the current team made its run through March Madness.

While there are still months until the general election, the situation in Gaza, along the Mexican border, and even statewide candidates are already causing shifts in support. In this week's podcast, host Tim Boyum speaks with North Carolina native and well-known republican Doug Heye and Public Policy Polling (PPP) pollster Tom Jensen about those impacts. What will stick and what won't? Depends on who you ask.

On this week's episode, host Tim Boyum sits down with two of the North Carolina's top political minds to talk North Carolina's primary election, and what it might mean for the rest of 2024.

From a huge upset to surprising responses, Democrat Morgan Jackson and Republican Jonathan Felts break down everything we need to know.

In the past few years, a progressive group in North Carolina has seemed to have popped up out of nowhere. This year the nonprofit, Carolina Forward succeeded in getting two of their Democrat picks through the primaries.

Their Executive Director, Blair Reeves, joins host Tim Boyum this week to understand the origins of the all-volunteer group.

They also discuss the criticism of going after Democrats who vote with Republicans. The two then widen the lens to talk about Carolina Forward's outlook this November.

In our ongoing Decision 2024 coverage, host Tim Boyum will sit down with the frontrunners vying to become the next governor of North Carolina.

Last week, attention was on the Democrats. This week, the microphone is being passed to the Republicans.

State Treasurer Dale Folwell and attorney Bill Graham join Tim to discuss their priorities, education, immigration, abortion and more. Lt. Governor Mark Robinson has chosen not to engage with our interview, a stance he has maintained throughout the campaign.
