Can two former Charlotte city councilmen beat Michelle Obama at the Signal Awards (basically the podcast Oscars)?

We're about to find out.

After nearly a decade, 140+ episodes, zero paychecks, and countless Republican-vs-Democrat debates, R&D in the NC is a national Signal Awards finalist for Best Video Podcast Co-Host Team.

We're up against some VERY famous people.

But here's our pitch: If you believe two people can disagree about politics, stay friends, and actually make important conversations entertaining, we'd love your help proving it.

Voting closes THIS THURSDAY, October 15.

Help us pull off the upset. 🗳️

Vote for R&D in the NC.

@signalawards, @Larken

The morning after CMS fired Crystal Hill 5–4, Anna London joined us (THIS MORNING).

She voted NO — and was still a bit shaken:

“I am so disappointed. And quite frankly, I'm sad.”

We asked her how CMS got here.

Full conversation is live now.

@WhiteHouse No it's not. But how about releasing the Epstein Files or bringing down prices?

@WilliePStyle @FinTechInnov8r @stelmo It was not as spicy as @stelmo - I can say that definitively as I had St. Elmo's shrimp cocktail twice this week. But Ranch House WAS by far the spiciest cocktail I've ever had in #CLT.

Was in Boone NC yesterday and was struck once again by the beauty of the App State football stadium, carved out of a forest and one of the absolute best places to watch college football in America.

Toured the Negro League Museum in KC this morning w/the amazing Bob Kendrick & it was genuinely one of the coolest sports experiences I’ve had. And what a perfect way to celebrate 7/4 250th — a true reminder of this country’s great sins and even greater ability to overcome. Genuinely life affirming.

@wm_agee @yallweekly He and a half dozen other people have been doing what you describe for a year. It requires no filing, title, or declaration. I saw him tonight and gave him a hard time about this exact thing. It had it's desired outcome though - a news cycle.
