The Communist (Guest: Dr. Mike Saag)

<p>Josh and David open with a discussion of rising COVID numbers and the sudden Republican regret, and they talk about Limestone Sheriff Mike Blakely's conviction; UAB's Dr. Michael Saag zooms in to try to save people's lives; and they wrap with talk of dissension in the Republican ranks and this week's Rightwing Nut of the Week.</p> <p>Send us a question:</p> <p>When we come back from hiatus, we want to take a little 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 <a href='mailto:apwproducer@gmail.com'>apwproducer@gmail.com</a>.</p> <p>You can also send us a voice recording to that email with your question, and we may play it on air! Make sure you include your name (first name is fine) and where you live.</p> <p>About APW:</p> <p>APW is a weekly Alabama political podcast hosted by Josh Moon and David Person, two longtime Alabama political journalists.
