Episode 73 - Truth? In Politics? (Local Elections '22)

Published: March 31, 2022, 5:15 a.m.

SGF/BRANSON LOCAL ELECTION EDITION We talk, at length, about the April 5 Springfield Public Schools Board of Education election, and the upwards of $150k and tangled interests in the race. Then, we are joined by candidates Brandi VanAntwerp and Dr. Charles Taylor (the recipients of our Least Shitty Candidates endorsement - good even?) to briefly talk about why they are running. After, we head on down US Highway 65 to Branson, Missouri, to check out their collection of freaks and cranks trying to take over their Boards of Education and Aldermen. It's a banger, a bummer and a real barn burner! Support Trans kids in Texas and throughout the south and beyond.
