Episode 4: Our New Hope is for An End to Peace in the Valley

Welcome listeners! Like Star Wars, we have a New Hope for Episode 4, and that’s an end to Peace in the Valley in the Virginia legislature. We welcome Progress in the Valley, Meaningful Change in the Valley, and sometimes even Chaos in the Valley. This week’s episode brings a discussion on the history of the Virginia Way: a prioritization of compromise and civility over big, structural changes. Did you know Virginia was founded as a corporation? Today’s history lesson takes you into how Virginia has too often prioritized corporate profit over the needs of those doing the labor and work that drives our economy. And can you guess our first repeat Coward of the Week? From the Kentucky Derby, Donald Trump’s Emmy loss leading us down this weird timeline, why lawyers should be protected, and why it’s always good to remind voters where you stand, join us for a fun time!
