Representing the Future of Humanity - with Kobey Layne

Today's episode features the indefatigable Kobey Layne hearing the call and becoming what she must.  Kobey is a Democratic-Farmer-Labor candidate for Governor of Minnesota.  She and I muse over topics as wide as owning our past, youth in American politics, and why you should vote for someone who cares about you.  REFERENCES:Kobey Layne’s Website: https://www.kobey4governor.com/Follow Kobey on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/kobey4governor.bsky.socialFollow Kobey on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kobey4governorFollow Kobey on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1194661289324772Follow Kobey on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Kobey4GovernorFollow Kobey on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@kobey4governor(00:00) - Opening credits (00:37) - Show opening (01:28) - Introducing Kobey Layne (02:32) - Connecting life with policy (08:38) - Reclaiming our shame as lessons learned (19:21) - Who is the Democratic-Farmer-Labor party?
