A lot of freedom discussed in this episode. David Snyder, Executive Director of the First Amendment Coalition, stopped by to inform us on the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). David shared some history, interesting factoids, spells out what is subject to FOIA, and more. David and Bill discussed the growth in request numbers, “predatory” activity, and David closed down the segment with a look into FOIA’s future.
