What's the name of the song playing at the end of the episode?
I'd also like to know the song title. And thank you so much for the great show!
I don't think there's been a show yet where I didn't want to know the name of a song featured. Music notes would be a great addition to these pages - I'm sure the artists wouldn't object!
Hi Andrea. Great show! You mention at the end of the show that the music can be found on the website, but I can't find it. I agree with the earlier posters that the choice in songs is great.
Hi, I really like the show in general and applaud the initiative. It would be great if more journalists were more courageous re: setting out on their own. However, I have to say I thought the premise for this episode was pretty weak: basically that politicians like to announce big plans--this is hardly a new phenomenon--but sometimes, or more often than not, they don't work out. Also not really a newsflash and I didn't find the Colorado example particularly illuminating or strongly tied to any kind of over-arching, and clearly stated, thesis. It was just, well, a failed plan. Clearly something got you guys excited about this idea but I (respectfully) think you needed more work to make it more specific and compelling.
Again, thanks for the show and I look forward to the next episode.
