Pardon Me
by Alex Estrada
Welcome to “Pardon Me", the podcast where we attempt to start a conversation about issues in modern society. These issues are complicated and there is not one catchall solution. We do not expect total improvement but what we can do is start the conversation and perhaps provide a framework for those smart and better qualified than us. In an effort to be transparent, Danny tends to be center-right in his views. Alex considers himself a moderate and has no official affiliation with any Political party.
