Lefty Appalachian politics and culture (and the occasional buffet analysis)

Appodlachia is hosted by
Chuck Corra & Big John Isner.
Appodlachia is an opinion-commentary podcast. Chuck and Big John are not journalists. They are just two guys who like to spout off opinions. The opinions expressed on the Appodlachia podcast, social media channels, and elsewhere are solely the opinions of the hosts and do not in any way represent the views of Chuck or Big John’s employers (and they never will).
On today's episode, Chuck talks with Rep. Ruwa Romman, the Palestinian-American organizer and policy analyst representing Georgia's 97th House District. She is the first Muslim and Palestinian woman ever elected to the Georgia State House of Representatives. We talk about her background and her work as an elected official, as well as the Uncommitted movement within the Democratic Party and how she was supposed to speak at the DNC but was denied. It's an important part of the overall conversation surrounding the election and Rep. Romman brings a needed perspective to this conversation.
