Cut To The Chase with Laura Curran

Cut To The Chase with Laura Curran

Laura Curran served as Nassau County Executive, serving 1.3 million residents on Long Island. She’s also a former New York City reporter. In “Cut to the Chase,” Laura combines the two to take an unflinching look at the important issues that affect all our lives — no matter where we are on the political spectrum. Politics, media, current events, culture. Fearless, thought-provoking conversations that get right to the point.
