We Have Friends Everywhere
Welcome to We Have Friends Everywhere, a podcast where Arizona policy gets stripped of spin and partisan theatrics. Hosted by two political independents—one a former Republican, the other a former Democrat—we’re done playing for teams and ready to tell the truth. Each week, we break down a single-issue impacting Arizonans—from school vouchers and water rights to housing policy and election integrity. We’ll walk you through the history, the legislative players, the money behind the madness, and most importantly, how it all affects you. This isn’t about left or right. It’s about the top and the bottom. Because at the end of the day, the average Arizonan has more in common with their neighbor than they do with billionaires and political power brokers. We’re here to connect the dots—and piss you off just enough to get involved. If you’re tired of being manipulated, underrepresented, or outright ignored, you’re in the right place. Welcome to We Have Friends Everywhere.
