About the Podcast

Aligning America
In a world of polarized politics, an unwelcoming electorate, and an abusive two party system, there are those who look above the chaos for reasonable and pragmatic solutions. Every episode we will dig into the newest stories of the day, keeping an eye on national and international stories impacting us all, and I will articulate my ideas and opinions surrounding the fallout. Will I sink further into hopelessness? Will America get its act together and unite to help the people it was founded for? Join me, a youthful political junkie on our journey through the partisan hacks and corporate shills to find common ground while deliberating on breaking stories in the political discourse as they unfold.
