Ep 20 - Debate Fred Leonard vs. Karen Stokes
Don’t judge me too, harshly as a moderator of this debate never been a moderator before. I did my best to fact check where I needed to fact check. To get control when I need to get control to move forward allow people plenty of time to make their points. The debate was specifically about the...

Ep 19. Paul Cormier
Paul Cormier was my last follow up to Annie for a while I think. Paul served in the school board for almost 2 years. He resigned early due to frustrations with the board at the time. We had a pleasant conversation about sports and what we think the way ahead should be for our students and...

Ep. 18 - Fred Leonard
I enjoyed talking to Fred. I believe in person was a lot more productive and helpful than maybe his Facebook persona allows. But that’s a nature of Facebook. He had no motivation to come sit with me. He had nothing to promote no business no election just to get his information and viewpoint out.

Ep. 17 - Karen Stokes
Karen Stokes spent 12 years on the Rochester school board. We discussed the Annie investigation and the city attorney. We also talked about the Maple st school and the current budget. I really enjoyed this conversation I could have talked for another couple hours.
-
Ep. 16 - Scott Brown
I got a major upgrade to my podcast with format senator and former ambassador Scott Brown accepted my invitation to have a conversation. We didn’t have much time so I couldn’t get a lot of in depth details about his life. We didn’t talk about his point of view for his run for the senate. We...

Ep 15 - Dillon Guyer
Today I sat and talked with Dillon Guyer. Owner of Guyer Travel. This was the first conversation where I had no clear plan or agenda. We talked about his business, Rochester night out, politics, and his life.
-
Ep 14 Annie Azarloza
I’m very grateful to have the opportunity to sit and have a conversation with Annie Azarloza the former Rochester, New Hampshire superintendent. We talk a lot about her background and a little bit about the circumstances and situation that surrounded the parting of ways between her and Rochester.
-
Ep. 13 Will Fessenden
I’m glad Will accepted my offer to sit down and talk in that I understand that that as a conservative Christian pastor he may have felt possibly in hostile territory. However, that cannot be further from the result although we disagree on some things we both agree we have far more in common than...

Ep. 12 Sam Oliver III
Sam is the only candidate I think I knew before we talked. And I know when I met him about a year ago we had a good conversation. This was also a very pleasant conversation
-
Ep 11. Samantha Smith
I talked with Samantha Smith from Ward 2 this evening. She seems adamant about getting a qualified school superintendent who hopefully can turn around our district. She also has been a very active parent in the school system.
-
Ep. 10 Raymond Wayman
Here’s my conversation with Raymond Wayman. He seemed very knowledgeable and has taken a lot of time to do research on our city and where our money goes.
-
Ep. 9 Lisa Carlberg
I have really enjoyed these conversations. This one was with Lisa Kerrigan Carlberg. I gathered they she is most concerned with ensuring that teachers are supported and given the best resources. School board candidate. These are starting to run together for me so I apologize if I repeat myself
-
Ep. 8 Samantha Battis
This was my second conversation this evening with Samantha Battis school board candidate ward 6 seat A was really great mostly because she talked more than me which is perfect I assume you all are sick of hearing my voice. She is truly passionate about making the schools a safe place for everyone...
-
Ep. 7 Keady Nugent
Keady Nugent school board ward 2 seat A is passionate about our kids and their future in our city.
-
Ep. 6 Katherine Anderson
This was a pleasant conversation. Although Katherine Anderson is running for school board it didn’t feel like a campaign interview just a good conversation. So far she is the first school board candidate who has decided to sit with me. I feel a little guilty I may have talked to much. But I’m not…

Ep. 4 Chuck Grassie
My last conversation for a while that I’ll post here is with Chuck Grassie. Maybe one of the most experienced of all the politicians that I talked to so far. And politically speaking, we probably stand far apart as any of them as well. However, it was a pleasure talking to him to hear his ideas…

Ep. 3 Pete Lachapelle
I sat down this afternoon with Mayoral Candidate Pete Lachapelle. It was a great conversation that I had to have twice because we got about 20 mins in and found I wasn’t recording. lol. He was cool about it and understanding. He has worked on the city council before and has knowledge of how…
