Description
In communities across the U.S., from small towns to big cities, there used to be a lot more places like the ol’ neighborhood bar. It was a place you could come after work, to talk with your friends & neighbors about the news of the day, to have a few laughs, and maybe a few drinks.
In those days, you could even talk about politics a little bit without causing a bar brawl. These days, the people in our personal communities are often spread from coast to coast and around the world. And while it’s great to see ‘em on social media, it would be better to have a place where the bartenders knew your name, and you could trust the folks in your community would be there with the latest news and drink or two.
So we’ve created a place like that here – and you’re invited. Come on in, pull up a chair, grab something to drink, and we’ll get up to speed with the news of the day, at The Politics Bar.

I'm sorry I tried I just can't listen. must be my airboats that won't let me turn the volume up high enough. I love the show so I just can't hear it. so after two episodes sadly I'll have to find some other way to listen.
I don't know about anybody else but I can't hear you. the feed sound is too low I really would like to listen but I can't hear you.
Could y'all be just a little less condescending?!? Especially to each other?!?
