Are you sick of burying your head in the sand about national and local political issues? Are you too overwhelmed to even think about consuming news due to the sheer quantity? We realized through conversations with people in all different settings, most have NO IDEA what's going on in our local government. We decided to do this podcast to cover the shenanigans that we think is especially important for our friends and family to know. We do say a few cuss words so we wouldn't recommend listening while your kids are in the car!","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/while-we-still-can-7039479"},"episode":{"title":"Kroll For CommonSense!

This episode tracks her evolution from a concerned neighbor at city hall to a candidate fueled by the realization that if you aren't at the table, you’re probably on the menu. Becky cuts through the political noise to talk about the grit required to fix rural healthcare, the exhaustion of fighting gerrymandered maps, and why labor unions are still the best defense against a rigged economy. She even dives into the weirdly metaphorical nightmare of her alpha-gal allergy—because in Becky’s world, even a tick bite is a lesson in resilience. It’s a witty, slightly dark, and deeply human look at why we need to stop obsessing over national theater and start obsessing over the people living right down the street.
