This week, hosts Josh Moon and David Person discuss the recent historic NCAA win by Alabama State, the controversies surrounding Tommy Tuberville's residency and potential gubernatorial run, and the legal dispute between Doug Jones and Randy Kelley.
Catherine Flowers discusses her new book "Holy Ground" and the importance of reclaiming Christianity's true values. She reflects on the overwhelming nature of advocacy work, the need for common ground in politics, and the significance of personal stories in driving change. Flowers emphasizes the importance of female reproductive rights and environmental justice.
Finally, Josh and David discuss immigration issues, the lack of empathy in political rhetoric, and the economic impact of immigrants in the community. And this week's Rightwing Nut of the Week.
Alabama Politics This Week is sponsored by Wind Creek Hospitality. Gaming is the heart of Wind Creek Hospitality, but they offer so much more. Wind Creek's 10 distinct properties in the U.S. and Caribbean — including four in Alabama — provide world-class entertainment, dining, hotel stays, amenities and activities. As the principal gaming and hospitality entity for the Poarch Band of Creek Indians, Wind Creek continues to grow and offer guests luxurious destinations and opportunities for escape.
We take a bit of time each week to answer questions from our audience about Alabama politics — or Alabama in general. If you have a question about a politician, a policy, or a trend — really anything — you can shoot us an email at apwproducer@gmail.com.
You can also send it to us on Facebook and Twitter. Or by emailing us a voice recording to our email with your question, and we may play it on air. Either way, make sure you include your name (first name is fine) and the city or county where you live.
