It’s a great segment, a real treat!!
Scott and Allan also discuss a wide range of topics – from hot takes on the “Baby its cold outside” debate, to a newly elected State Rep resigning his seat before he even is sworn in, to Governor Raimondo’s rising star on the national stage – do you think she’s staying for her full 4 year term, or is she angling for a seat at the table of national Democratic politics?

Jackie Zukerman-Delory, social media and marketing entrepreneur form Boston, is featured in the third segment, sharing the challenges and the rewards of being your own boss, and building a company from the ground up! This is required listening for anyone seeking to become self-employed, or who has any preconceived notions on management. In the first segment, apparently the Red Sox won a championship, or something – but managed to snub one of the cornerstones of their historic 2004 team in the process! How could this happen, and why? Scott and Allan discuss that in the first segment, as well as what NOT to do on social media when running for statewide office.  The Rotunda #171 10/22/18 - This show is graced by two gubernatorial candidates – Michael Reagan calls in from Alabama in the second segment to talk about his write in campaign, and why he feels both the Republican and Democratic parties are failing the citizens of his state.

In a fast paced first segment, Scott and Allan talk about Hillary Clinton’s recent declaration that her husband’s affair with Monica Lewinsky wasn’t really sexual assault since they were both adults.

The Rotunda #170 10/15/18 - Rhode Island’s next Attorney General returns to the Rotunda to talk about his desire to continue his career in public service, having served admirably as US attorney for Rhode Island in the Obama administration. He also talks about the process behind information requests, which is a lot more than lay people would think it is, and whether he would have handled rep Morgan’s requests differently than they were. We also hear some of his feedback form the campaign trail, and what Rhode Islanders really want to see out of the AG office. A must listen!
Pawtucket city council candidate Pamela Braman visits in the second segment and shares a heretofore unknown fact: she was a resident of Scott’s district when he ran for council! She also talks about the experience of being an independent candidate in heavily Democratic Pawtucket. Not to be missed are the bookend segments, where Scott and Allan talk about the state of the RIGOP, the governor’s race, the recent closing of Nordstrom’s and whether or not it is palatable for public office holders or candidates to block those they do not like on social media. Also, why is it ok for some media personalities to post hateful things about one race or gender but not others? Shouldn’t that all fall into the trash bin of history? There’s a little something for everybody in this podcast!

The third segment features Nashville recording artist and Rhode Island native, Kim Petrarca! She talks about following her dreams to Nashville and some of the behind the scenes stuff many of us do not know about when it comes to getting your name out there as an artist. Kim gives some great advice for people who are debating following their dreams and making music, and the segment ends with her new song ‘Time’. Definitely an interview you don’t want to miss! Scott and Allan also talk about the recent internecine fighting in the RIGOP – could this hurt their chances at statewide and local offices in November? In the first segment, we get to hear a great example of the pitfalls that present themselves when only one side of a story is believed, and in the last segment we talk about the prime example of why victims of predators should always come forward, and how the process should work. |
