Josh and David open with a discussion of Josh's cross-country road trip and the state's effort to remove racist language from the state constitution.
Former Republican state senator Dick Brewbaker zooms in to discuss his decision to leave the Republican Party, the cult of Trump, and the plight of public education.
They wrap with a discussion of Alabama schools inability to feed kids, and the astonishing lack of concern by state officials, and this week's Rightwing Nut of the Week.
Send us a question:
We take a bit of time each week to answer questions from our audience about Alabama politics — or Alabama in general. If you have a question about a politician, a policy, or a trend — really anything — you can shoot us an email at apwproducer@gmail.com or with this form.
You can also send it to us on Facebook and Twitter. Or by emailing us a voice recording to our email with your question, and we may play it on air.
Either way, make sure you include your name (first name is fine) and the city or county where you live.
