Episode 51 – My Hero
We’re moving away from our usual politics and rhetoric today and lightening the mood. It’s been a tough few months for the nation, and this week has been no different, so we wanted to take a break and talk about something a little bit more light-hearted, but still kind of interesting, and maybe a little important.

This week I want to talk about superheroes. [Read More]

It was also the year that the phrase “under God” was added to the Pledge of Allegiance, which is what we’re going to focus on today. [Read More]
