Episode Details

In this episode of the While We Still Can podcast, Lisa and Tina engage with Will Westmoreland, a rural political strategist about the complexities of rural politics, the influence of media, and the importance of government services in rural America. We explore the historical context of political shifts, the impact of the Fairness Doctrine, and the challenges of cognitive dissonance among voters. We discuss the need for community engagement and the dangers of privatization in essential services. It is vital to have effective pushback against detrimental policies and the significance of support systems for marginalized communities. It is an absolute necessity to educate rural populations about the ramifications of healthcare cuts and the importance of solidarity in advocating for better services.
