Hot Topics with Riggin
No spin. No safe zones. Just real conversations. Hosted by Riggin, Hot Topics dives into the conversations you won’t always hear on the airwaves. Each episode tackles bold, often controversial issues shaping life in Southeast Missouri and beyond—whether it’s politics, policing, culture, or deeply personal stories of struggle and resilience. From a conservative gay woman navigating today’s political climate, to the impact of marijuana legalization on local law enforcement, to raw conversations about grief, loss, and identity—Riggin sits down with guests who aren’t afraid to speak their truth. You’ll also hear from voices on terrorism, technology (including AI itself), and even local business leaders grappling with changing industries. Unfiltered, thought-provoking, and unapologetically direct—this is where the conversations get real.
