    Talking Snow in Anchorage, Alaska Aug 25, 2026
    Show notes

    Mayor Suzanne LaFrance joined the conversation. Our first guest from Alaska so naturally we started talking about snow.

    But Anchorage is a true American city with some of the same challenges other mayors face. Give a listen.

    Wine and Baseball in California Aug 18, 2026
    Show notes

    When you're talking to someone from Northern California you have to talk about wine. And Mayor John Marchand of Livermore started the conversation with a good wine discussion.

    Then we talked about baseball and good government.

    Hialeah, Florida's New and Young Mayor Aug 11, 2026
    Show notes

    When I met Bryan Calvo he had served all of three weeks as the newest and youngest Mayor of Hialeah, Florida.

    He got off to a fast start. I always like talking to young people in office and Mayor Calvo has a lot to say.

    Dr Anthony Fauci, In His Own Words Aug 06, 2026
    Show notes

    Given that Dr Anthony Fauci recently was called to Congress, but refused to respond to questions from Senators, we thought it would be a good idea to re-release our conversation with Dr Fauci when he was open to talking.

    The conversation is a great insight into a career in public service and how he responded to an unfolding worldwide pandemic. Here again is Dr Fauci.

    Profile of a Public Servant Aug 04, 2026
    Show notes

    A career in public service is not something many people automatically think about. Kelli Bentley, HR director for a city in Alabama is trying to change that.

    Listen to how she recruits people to work in her city's water and sewer department. And she's one of 250 Government Champions from the National Academy of Public Service.

    Slow Down in Allentown, PA Jul 28, 2026
    Show notes

    Mayor Matt Tuerk is trying to make Allentown, PA the slowest city in America. Not because he drives slow, because slower traffic increases pedestrian safety. We also cover housing, police and fire fighter retention and baseball.

    Listen to Matt Tuerk's first appearance on the show if you missed it.

    Driverless Cars, Look Out, One Might be in the next Lane Jul 14, 2026
    Show notes

    There's a lot of talk about driverless cars, they improve traffic, they impede traffic, they're safe, they aren't safe at all. I sat down with Daniel Greene Senior Director of consumer protection and product safety for the National Consumers League.

    We talked about driverless cars, their future and what's going on with them now. Make no mistake, they are coming.
