Episode #28
The conversation continues and takes a weird turn when Steven claims he can levitate! But only when nobody is looking... The second part of an amazing conversation with Abigail Pepper.
Episode #27
Abigail Pepper, candidate for Monroe City Council, joins us to explain her platform, her ideas, and why she's getting involved now. The conversation went long, of course, and Barb was badly missed, but we give Abigail a chance to explain herself and counter some of the political nonsense targeted at her. A fantastic candidate who isn't afraid to admit when she doesn't have all the answers... This is part one of a two part episode.
Episode #26
Homelessness is complicated. So we tried something radical: we talked to someone who actually knows what she’s talking about. This week on Drawing Bigger Circles, we sit down with Melissa McKeown, Executive Director of the Community Shelter of Union County, for a real conversation about homelessness in Union County: who is experiencing it, what is driving it, what the Shelter actually does, and what approaches have been shown to help people move toward stability. It’s an especially important conversation right now. Homelessness has increasingly become a political talking point, and simple, punitive solutions can sound awfully appealing when you don’t have to deal with the complicated reality behind them. Melissa does. She works with this population every day. She knows the people behind the statistics. She understands the barriers, the resources, the gaps in the system, and what happens when policy ideas collide with reality. So before we decide that the answer to homelessness is another ordinance, another punishment, or another way to move people somewhere we don’t have to look at them, maybe there’s value in hearing from the people who have spent years actually doing the work. We know. Listening to subject matter experts before developing public policy is a pretty wild concept. This is a conversation worth hearing, especially if you think you already know the answer. And yes, we are wearing ties because we are serious people.

Episode #25
Wow! Usually I just grab a phrase from the episode to pick the title, but the whole group unanimously agreed...Dave Matthews Band Sucks should be the name of this episode. This week we touch on the Monroe Downtown Economic Development Grants and give an update on the fight against Flock cameras. Finally, during this week's top x list, we ask the question...where does Michelle Ball get her money from?
Episode #24
With the death of Dolly Parton still hanging heavily in our hearts, we take some time to examine one of they mayor's campaign issues. Is he bringing crime down in Monroe? Every time he leaves the city! One local resident who doesn't own a dictionary gets his 15 minutes of fame...but rejoice as we will never say his name again after this podcast. Finally, in Behind the Kirton this episode, Barb drops some fun trivia knowledge about a beloved icon. A woman who was true to herself, funny, and definitely displayed the kind of heart we should all admire.
