Making It: Making Your Drive More Enjoyable
Tired of listening to the same music in the car? Mix things up with the Making It podcast.
Making It is a weekly podcast hosted by three self-identified makers with different backgrounds.
Together, they discuss making things with their bare hands, plus the creativity and problem-solving that goes into it.
To listen, click here, or search for Making It podcast on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.
Ramaswamy Takes Strong Stance on Gun Rights
Republican gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy says he believes everyone has the right to own and carry a gun, supports constitutional carry, and wants to shut down the Federal Bureau of Investigation and replace it with a new agency to handle background checks.
Conversely, some gun rights supporters have noticed that his campaign website does not mention the Second Amendment at all, and his exact positions on a few issues, like gun shows and schools, are not fully clear.
