THis episode took awhile to construct. We had some audio problems with the debate portion. Taylor and I ventured up to Williamsport, the second largest city in the 12th to hear Judy Herschel and Marc Freidenberg debate at an event organized by the Lycoming County Progressives!

We dig deep into her early life with 6 siblings, how she got a tattoo, how…

Jordi is joined by some friends for a rambling and fascinating discussion of the recent Judy Herschel and Marc Freidenberg candidate forum hosted by the League (The LOWV Lewisburg Area).

We breakdown Rep Marino’s disastrous town hall in Lewisburg. At 41:45, he needlessly insults Shari Jacobson for being a professor (decide for yourself). He also offers an utterly incomprehensible defense of his opioid bill. And Judy Hershel’s visit to the Milton Democracy in Action women. Dwayne tells us about his efforts to spread how-to-run for…

“Post production is the button that says publish.” We revisit our stellar production values, drink some Scotch, and discuss Tom Marino’s rapid fall from Trumpian grace. How cheap is a Congressperson? What kinds of sources does Chip have? Will Chris Carney, former Congressman run? How strong is Judy Herschel? Will Rick Mirabito run (Lycoming County Commissioner)?…
