What is “Politically Speaking”?

Why do we need a political talk show in Wright County?

  “Politically Speaking” will be a weekly, 1 hour, weekly radio talk show which will run on Saturdays from 1pm-2pm.  I will be the host of the show.  This is a new show reflecting the KRWC’s ongoing commitment to provide reliable and local Wright County news and perspectives.

The genesis of the show began as an idea.  In this age of suburban growth, it is harder and harder to find media outlets discussing local political news.

  Wright County has several excellent local newspapers, but these papers are issued weekly and no local paper broadly covers county-wide political news.  None of the radio stations on the dial, including the myriad of political talk radio shows, discuss or share local political information or provide a local Wright County outlook on the news of the day.  The local television news rarely covers a political topic in Wright County unless the news is sensational and metro wide in its impact.

What about a show where the focus is on the political news and personalities that have such an enormous impact on the lives of residents in Wright County?  A talk forum where Wright County residents and express their views and share political information of local significance; an informative, civil, and entertaining show about local politics.

As the show progresses, I will use this blog to focus on more singular political topics and preface the following week’s show—please check back often.

I look forward to hearing from each of you.
