Shownotes

The forces of life & responsibility prevented Jumelle from recording this week, so we reached deep into our co-host bench and welcomed Barrett Gruber of The All About Nothing Podcast to fill in as we cover the end of the South Carolina candidate filing period!

You can also WATCH this episode and see all of the clips played as well as the guests we interviewed over on our YouTube channel.
