Josh and David open with a discussion of TV and the closing of GreeneTrack and the state of gambling laws in Alabama.
Jerry Mitchell, CEO of the Alabama State Black Chamber of Commerce, zooms in to discuss the chamber's efforts to assist and grow Black-owned businesses in the state.
And they wrap with a discussion of the problems at VA hospitals and this week's Rightwing Nuts 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.
