Quickly reviewing the White Hall Supervisor Election, I faced a 5% defeat (4.5k to 4k), which, by any measure, marks a significant success for both the campaign and Crozet. In an insightful discussion, Eric Schmitz joins the show to analyze precinct data, campaign finances, and highlight noteworthy trends for prospective future candidates.

The B Boys are on today. First, I talk with Bode who is amped up to be on and then I talk with Brett. We are talking about how the school year went, thoughts on next year, favorite books, toys, and trips that happened over the last six months.
I remember when Brett used to sound like Bode. Time goes by fast.
Enjoy the show. - Brad

Mallory, I and the kids traveled back to WI to visit family. This time I brought the equipment to record a show with Dad - Tom Rykal! Highly anticipated and he brought the heat. Dad sits down and talks about his family, growing up in Cadott meeting Mom, the grocery store in Minong, kids shenanigans and a lot more. It was a lot of fun to record with Dad and my brother Kevin.
I hope you enjoy the show. -Brad

I hope you enjoy the show. -Brad
