R.E.M. suggested the title for this episode - my (Gary) last show before I pack up the Studio in the Bonus Room (etc) and head to the Charlotte area.

Want another music reference? The Beat Goes On. You’ve met Elizabeth Crudup on several previous episodes, and she’s brought us prominent guests on several others. I first met Elizabeth at a planning meeting for the Raleigh Women’s March in 2019, and she came on the show to talk about it then. Here’s how I described that meeting on the web page for Episode 43: “Gary may have mentioned something about doing a political podcast nobody had ever heard of. Elizabeth’s eyes lit up.”

Elizabeth saw grassroots potential in the show that, frankly, I didn’t see. She still does, and when she heard that I was going to leave and ‘give it away’, she jumped. And she’s here on my last show to talk about what we might see (maybe just hear… I dunno about the video part) going forward.

We’re sad to announce that this is the last Tuesdays with Tillis Zoom Rally to be produced by the Triangle Talk Show 😥. The TWT rallies will continue (on Zoom, and back on the street when pandemic conditions permit), and you’ll be able to see them ‘Live and Memorex’ on the TwT Facebook Group. But the Triangle Talk Show is closing shop as Gary (and Cyndi) are leaving the Triangle area and moving to the Charlotte area. So the podcast version, the YouTube version and the Twitter version are ending as of today’s broadcast. We’ve enjoyed producing these important rallies every week since NC ‘closed’ last March. If you’ve relied on this channel for watching or listening, we hope you can find them on the TwT FB Group.

One of the most important issues we face right now is redistricting. All On The Line (AOTL) is the national and statewide group which is working on this. On today’s 4th anniversary rally, we are proud to welcome Lekha Shupeck, AOTL North Carolina State Director. You can support AOTL NC at this link.

Oh, sooner or later Gary gets to the Sea Shanty and other stuff. You could fast-forward to it, but why?

Voter suppression efforts in George continue to be rampant, and the President of the Georgia NAACP resigned from Raffenberger's commission because of efforts to disenfranchise eligible voters. Karen Mallam, who is following this closely, will update us and we’ll hear from Faisal Khan who has been on the ground there for weeks.

We are focused on Georgia until January 5, and meanwhile continue to have really interesting conversations about what we are reading in the news and contemplating about our future direction. "We are a community of nonviolent resistance," so can we agree on what we are resisting?

Jen & Gary ramble on. Not much about Trump’s pardons.

Also, for the record, Gary is moving to the Charlotte area this spring. So the last episode of the show will be January 24, 2021, unless someone wants it. Free to a good home! Wanna be a podcaster with a built-in show? Email Gary: talk@TriangleTalkShow.com.
