  • Potholes, Parks & Power: Why Local Politics Deserve Your Vote
    Nov 11 2025

    In this episode of People, Politics and Pork, hosts Newell Clark and Greg Webb dive into the often-overlooked but critically important world of local elections.

  • Riffs, Royals, and the Road to Reason
    Oct 22 2025

    In this episode of People, Politics and Pork, Newell Clark and Greg Webb crank up the conversation with a no-holds-barred riff on everything from monarchies and democracy to modern political dysfunction and the power of American optimism.

    Kicking things off with a spirited take on the British royal family and the legacy of colonization, the hosts dig into the tension between symbolic power and real accountability. From there, they roll into reflections on the importance of humility and public service — "we don't need kings," Greg declares — highlighting how ego-driven leadership can erode the very foundations of representative democracy.

    With their signature blend of Southern charm and razor-sharp wit, Newell and Greg unpack why Americans seem disillusioned with both political parties, how truth often gets buried in today's media noise, and why character should matter more than party loyalty. In between laughs, they explore themes of accountability, storytelling, leadership, and the urgent need for empathy and critical thinking in today's public discourse.

    There's also a healthy helping of music, movie nods, and — you guessed it — pork. Because no matter how heated things get, it's still People, Politics and Pork… and that means it's always served with friendship, flavor, and a little bit of fire.

    🎧 Tune in now to hear why it's high time we rethink who we admire, what we tolerate, and what kind of country we want to build — together.
