Drawing Bigger Circles

While the mayor supposedly dug up the dirt on a scandal, he still didn't miss neck day! We get into the ridiculousness of another episode of the Burns Show and how much of our tax dollars he's going to waste this time.  Additionally, remember when William Dotson pretended to care about the humane society? His act fell apart last week when he not only voted against raising the outside agency fundin...

No Agenda, No Sense. We hit record and let the mood take us where we wanted to go. We discuss campaigning strategies (shameless plug for Kevin's latest blog) and why going on a press tour while your wife is laid up is actually disgusting. Also, another colonoscopy for Barb already? There's only one way to find out if that's true! If there's an issue that you want us to look into and talk about, em...

Business in the front, party in the back. Is Barb thinking about getting a mullet? Maybe. But today we just have a fun chat and learn a little more about each other by asking trivial questions that have No Wrong Answers.  Remember, if you have an issue you'd like to discuss, or would like for us to discuss for you, reach out to us at info@changeformonroe.com!

It's downtime before the election, so we ask the important question, should sarcastic people be allowed to text each other?

Is this the episode where we start to act like mature adults? I'll let you read the title of the episode and judge for yourself.  This is a no-politics episode! After we had our board meeting, we turned on the microphones, and let the words fly. No planning. No filter.  Find out which two hosts know the correct way to hang a roll of toilet paper and much more!

Barb makes her first appearance! Can she keep Kevin and Steven in line? We know she can't. Is it still fun to hear? Probably not.  Anyway, here's us talking about the primary in Monroe, what's next, and Barb's colonoscopy! I bet Barb rated hers higher than you rated yours!

We take some time out of our busy schedule to break down the primaries and make fun of Dotson's lack of a campaign. Buzzwords and slogans worked for Burns, will it work for Dotson? Not likely... Once the primary is over we hope to stop talking about all these horrible folks and examine some of the stuff that makes Monroe great...until then...

Two big things are happening in the world of Monroe. The first is a subversive group of hidden individuals are running a page, Monroe Vote Tracker, pretending to be informative when they're actually just campaigning for Burns, Dotson, and the like. Check out the blog on our website as the podcast only touches the surface of how sneaky these folks are.  Then we jump into Flock Security. A committee...

We're back as primary season starts to heat up. A candidate forum the other day had one notable absence. We speculate as to why she stayed hidden as we delve into the upcoming election.  Two notable corrections need to be made. Kevin misspelled "cacophany" during the podcast. He was reading off of an "accepted" variance page instead of a dictionary. And the total gold estimated in the world is $29...

While the mayor tucks his tail between his legs and runs away from the 2026 mayoral race, Monroe rejoices! From a ridiculous performance staged as a press conference to invoking the death of a podcaster to explain his cowardice, the mayor's theatrics are downright comical! Join us as we talk about that idiot, the focus for '26, and how Change for Monroe is going to start getting to work repairing...

In this week's episode, we take a harder look at Christian Nationalism and examine the differences between the "look at me" lifestyle of a Christian Nationalist like Robert Burns compared to the humble life of Christians.  Robert Burns is playing a character and we're here to call him out on it!

We know it's long but it's a damn fine conversation. Join us as we let the brains behind the Radical Roots podcast fill us in on what's happening in Monroe, and the country, through a different lens. List to Parron explain what it's like to have a government official send his klan of followers after you.  We can never be certain why the mayor singled out Parron for his lynch mob dry run, but we ha...

The mayor's campaign rally was white a hit...I'm sorry, quite a hit. We touch on that, what we think his next moves are, and why saying "both sides" makes you sound like you're uninformed on a variety of subjects.

All suggested (HILARIOUS!!!!) titles we wanted for this podcast were shot down by our attorney. If you want to know what we had thought about naming this episode you'll have to come and grab a beer with us.  As the mayor meets with his clan(sp?) downtown this evening, we take a minute to reflect on what a shitty person the mayor is as he uses his platform to send a lynch mob after a local resident...

As our mayor lauds his airport while taking donations from folks in the aviation industry, it's hard to imagine that there's nothing he won't sell us out for.  Join us as we talk about the mayor having to pay to have people listen to him speak and the real reasons that companies change logos (spoiler alert: it's not “woke” or whatever the mayor thinks). Recorded right here in Monroe, a place a lot...

Dottie was quite forgiving and came back to see us at Drawing Bigger Circles. Dottie chats with us about the makeup of the city government and her experiences during her 12 year tenure as a councilwoman.  We got working sound. We got Dottie. We got Stevens' majestic beard (only viewable on the YouTube broadcast).

Mayor Coin Flip continues to make a name for himself in a negative way. Will the "all press is good press" mantra ring true? Will people remember the name but not the embarrassment he inflicts upon our city? Kevin and Steven take aim at the silliness that is Monroe politics once again.

In our third published podcast we discuss the conspiracy hive mind and why people are no longer sticking to a position, but rather blindly following leaders.  Steven and Kevin will continue their never ending debate; does mayor Coinflip knowingly lie to his followers to keep their support or is he a true believer of the lies he puts out on Twitter?  We have our thoughts, what are yours?

In episode two, Change for Monroe does a quick look at how our local government is made up. We take a brief look at the role of the mayor, the city council, and the city manager...and how Mayor Burns ignores all these rules to do whatever he wants.
