Rose City Politics releases a new episode on Wednesday evenings, and all past podcast episodes can be viewed below.
Sometimes we can’t fit all we want to say into a weekly podcast, which is why we appear in Biz X Magazine monthly, as well as posting deeper dives into issues here. If you have a suggestion for a topic, please feel free to reach out to us.
