The Weekly Note is a politics and news podcast for Americans who do not fit in either box. Host James A. Brown delivers weekly commentary on media, culture, and American political life from an independent perspective. Each episode slows down the news and asks the questions that neither party wants to answer. This is a show for people who care deeply about issues but have no political home. No talking points. No outrage. Just honest analysis and better questions about the country we are actually living in.
