  • Summary

  • American politics from a Heartland perspective. Always dedicated to the people doing the work and helping lift up voices across the often forgotten middle of the map, and highlight the "flyover" country stories that legacy media and coastal voices miss. Hosts are Adam Sommer, a lawyer and family man; Rachel Parker, a writer and marketing expert; and Sean Diller, a political pro and father. All three are born in Missouri with various life experiences including Rachel's 20 years in L.A. before returning to St. Louis, and Sean's time spent moving from Missouri, to New Orleans, to New York, and a spot of time in Seattle before settling in Denver, while Adam has slowly moved from the east to west side of Missouri through his education. New shows MWF with special regional focuses on Friday shows. NOTE: THE VIEWS EXPRESSED ARE THOSE OF THE SPEAKER ONLY AND DO NOT NECESSARILY REFLECT THE VIEWS OF ALL HOSTS ON OUR NETWORK. NO REPRESENTATION OF EMPLOYER IS MADE FROM ANY HOST ON ANY SHOW.

    July 24, 2024 | From Roe to Dobbs And Beyond w/ Devon Heinen of States News Room + BONUS 2024 Democrat VP Mt. Rushmore Draft
    Jul 24 2024

    Rachel sat down for a chat with Devon Heinen, a journalist with States Newsroom who principally writes for the Tennessee Lookout . States Newsroom has created State Capitol level coverage with sites like Missouri Independent, Iowa Capitol Dispatch, Kansas Reflector, and more. Listeners of our shows often hear us cite to these sources because they have proven themselves to be quality journalism that takes the work of reporting facts with context seriously. Devon is no exception to that rule.
