We start with a roll call of SMWSM's international markets and a short story about the late Al Davis. Bradley Bilsback, political science PhD candidate at the University of Georgia, joins the show for a lighthearted, nonpartisan look at electioneering. We cover polling, advertising, C-SPAN, and more. Naturally, we also talk about college football. Then, lawyer and cyber security expert Peter McClelland stops by to chat about his recent campaign for a seat in the North Carolina House of Representatives. He also talks about the most pressing issues in the world of cyber security.
