*Advice to our listeners, this episode does include mention of rape and sexual assault, around minute 6:15, which may be triggering for some listeners.We were so honored to have the chance to interview Maryland Democratic Candidate for Governor, Laura Neuman. From Laura's Campaign Website:"Laura is running for governor because she believes every Marylander should have access to opportunity, regardless of where their story starts. Laura knows what it's like when someone else tries to write your story for you. People repeatedly questioned her assault, and refused to believe in her potential. She believes that if we invest in growing Maryland's economy, expand access to job training and education, and improve education, the possibilities are limitless."Our goal as the Mountain Maryland Mamas is to bring you stories from the Garrett County and Deep Creek Lake area, and we think its incredibly important to be dialed in to whats happening in the rest of our state as well.

Delegate Adrienne Jones will preside over her first full session as Speaker of the House of Delegates. She is the first woman and the first African American to be elected Speaker, succeeding Mike Busch, who passed away last April.

When you’ve devoted nearly 46 years to teaching political science and a good part of that time to being a pundit, you get to have an exit interview when retirement grows nigh. This spring’s semester at McDaniel College in Westminster was Herb Smith’s last as a professor of political science. For many years, he was a regular go-to political commentator for Maryland reporters, and his keenest skill was bringing historical perspective, and much-needed humor, to current affairs. Smith and former state secretary of state John Willis literally wrote the book on Maryland politics --- published by the University of Nebraska Press in 2012, and titled, ----Maryland Politics and Government: Democratic Dominance.---- On this show: Herb Smith reflects on American politics from the time of Eisenhower to Trump.

The week of April 29, 2019, was Maryland's biggest political week to date. From electing Adrienne Jones as speaker of the Maryland House of Delegates to Baltimore City Mayor Catherine Pugh's resignation, Ryan Miner and Len Foxwell will dissect the action. 

Barry O'Connell is one of the top content drivers in Maryland politics. The administrator of the widely-followed and roundly-read Facebook group "Maryland Politics," O'Connell has generated a large political following.  Love him, loathe him, unsure about him, or maybe even indifferent, O'Connell, like it or not, is one of Maryland's most unique and, perhaps, misunderstood, politicos.  O'Connell joins A Miner Detail Radio Podcast host Ryan Miner on Sunday, July 8, at 9:00 p.m. for a LIVE interview. 

Our guest today is Maryland’s senior United States Senator, Ben Cardin. He’s often referred to around the state as, “My friend, Ben.” While he has the common man’s touch – probably one of the most humble and approachable members of the elite U.S. Senate – Ben Cardin also displays an uncommon dedication to decency, fairness, and justice all rooted in his connection with, love of, and loyalty to family and community. His wife Myrna – herself a fixture in Maryland politics as the person who has stood by his side for 53 years – says Ben is “the best mensch she knows.” Today we learn from Senator Cardin how the roots of his faith have influenced his public service. We ask the Senator’s advice and wisdom on how to successfully lead the resistance against the dismantling of the country we love and how best to stand up for the values we share. So here we have it – Ben Cardin’s guide on how best to be a social justice warrior and a really good mensch. Podcast Episodes | Soul Force Politics

Officials have received complaints of lack of heating at about 60 of the school system’s buildings, and images of students bundled in winter coats have provoked outrage and finger-pointing.The Maryland General Assembly opens on Wednesday for its annual 90-day session, and Cox sizes up the major issues facing the legislature, all of them resulting from the actions or inactions of the Republican-controlled Congress. Plus, 2018 is an election year, with Gov. Larry Hogan facing re-electing and several state legislators facing primary challenges, thickening the state's political plot.Dr. John Cmar, an infectious disease specialist based at Sinai Hospital and a Roughly Speaking contributor, presents his list of communicable diseases to watch for in 2018, including a pan-resistant bacteria, or super bug, unaffected by multiple antibiotics.Links:http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/education/k-12/bs-md-ci-gofundme-schools-20180104-story.html

Seventy days into his presidency, Donald J. Trump gets the nod of approval from only 35 percent of Americans, the all-time lowest approval rating of any president in his first year. The latest Gallup poll also shows his approval rating among men falling from 51 percent to 44 percent during the month of March. The traditional honeymoon enjoyed by most presidents during their first 100 days has not happened. In fact, says political analyst Herb Smith, Trump is having the presidential "honeymoon from hell." Smith, longtime professor of political science at McDaniel College in Westminster, talks about Trump’s struggles and how it could affect Republicans in the 2018 elections. And, fresh from a McDaniel roundtable on the subject, Smith talks about "fake news" and "alternative facts," and he compares the dystopian prophecies of Orwell's "1984" with Huxley’s "Brave New World."Links:http://www.gallup.com/poll/207518/trump-approval-rating-unusually-low-unusually-early.aspxhttp://www.gallup.com/poll/207497/gender-gap-shrinks-trump-loses-support-among-men.aspxhttp://www.nebraskapress.unl.edu/product/Maryland-Politics-and-Government,674904.aspxhttp://www2.mcdaniel.edu/Poli_Sci/facsmith.htmhttps://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/13/books/review/which-dystopian-novel-got-it-right-orwells-1984-or-huxleys-brave-new-world.html?_r=0
