Did you miss our latest episode? The crew chatted with Jo Jorgensen to discuss her Libertarian Party bid for the presidency. It's a detour from our typical content but we think it's vital to listen to, and when appropriate - challenge, other political beliefs.

Plus, it's pretty unique that the entire Libertarian Party ticket comes from right here in South Carolina!

**NEW EPISODE!**

Jarrod, Courtney and Lindsey sat down with Libertarian Party candidate for President, Dr. Jo Jorgensen. They discussed her campaign, some issues and how she views her path to the White House during a time when campaigning is up-ended due to COVID-19.

Lots of folks have asked us why we would have Dr. Jorgensen on our show. Well, we think it's important to challenge our progressive beliefs from time-to-time.

But, she also lives in Greenville and teaches at Clemson University. Her running mate, Spike Cohen lives in Myrtle Beach. They're the only national campaign with both candidates coming from South Carolina -- we found that pretty unique.
