In their triumphant return to the Beacon podcast, Taryn, Ben and Mike discuss the first week of the Mills administration and the lasting legacy of Governor LePage, including speaking with Ann Avery, who is still waiting to see a doctor more than a year after Medicaid expansion passed by referendum. They also review the bill titles recently released by the Maine legislature, determining which are ‘bold’ and which are ‘old.’

Plus, Ben reviews The Half Has Never Been Told and Taryn declares her undying love for AOC.
