Rhode Islanders will decide a series of key political races when the current campaign season ends Tuesday. Will Allan Fung become the first Republican to win a U.S. House seat in Rhode Island in about 30 years? And will Democratic Governor Dan McKee win a full four-year term? And what does the relatively tepid turnout of mid-term elections say about the health of our democracy? The end of the election next week is a prelude to the 2024 presidential contest, and this comes at a time of heightened political division in the United States.

I'm Jim. I hate the sound of my voice. I'm an introvert. That said, I thought our community (the greater Grundy County, IL area) could use a get-to-know-you on some of the many great people we have in the area. This brief introduction is a quick get-to-know me and a rundown of what I hope this podcast will become. If it all goes well, you'll get a new episode out to you every Thursday from here out!

Ep. 423 | Originally Aired: December 15, 2018 Every December since 2013, the Pell Center at Salve Regina University has named a “Story of the Year,” the most important narrative in the public life of the United States in the preceding 12 months. Since June 1, 2018, we have asked guests what they thought the top story would be, so some of their answers were speculative. In this episode we hear from past guests such as Caroline Orr, Twitter sensation and behavioral scientist; Mark Blyth, author and Professor of Political Economy at Brown University; Sister Helen Prejean, anti-death penalty activist and author; Korsha Wilson, food writer and host of the podcast A Hungry Society; and many more on their top picks. The theme that resonated throughout their answers is what informed the decision, by hosts Jim Ludes and G. Wayne Miller, for the Story of the Year which is: The Battle for Truth. Learn more.
