PIZZA REVOLT… THE SIGN OF CALIFORNIA’S ECONOMIC CRISIS
Om denne podcast
The Coalition Purple podcast (formerly Beer Money America) is a show about third party politics for normal people. Your hosts:
-- Bill Hornung, a recovering Democrat who leans progressive yet is now a registered Independent.
-- John Phipps, a former Libertarian who leans conservative... but also is now a registered Independent.
We’re the podcast for anyone uninterested in today’s politics, but do care about the country! So our goal is to have fun, rational discussions focused on solutions... not name-calling and other foolishness found in today's two-party system.
