One of the few political podcasts focused on Arizona issues. It gives important news about the state that I find helpful, and the speakers do a good job of offering a balanced approach.

Description

Helping you keep up with what matters in Arizona's political news. Each week we interview politicians, public figures or journalists to break down one local issue and how it affects your life in Arizona. Coming to you every Wednesday morning, The Gaggle is hosted by The Arizona Republic's national political reporter Ron Hansen and state politics reporter Mary Jo Pitzl. You can find them on social media at @ronaldjhansen and @maryjpitzl. Amanda Luberto is the producer of the show.
