Flyover

39

Flyover from MPR News focuses on issues of American identity and the changing American dream as they are lived and experienced in the cities, towns and rural areas that lie beyond the media spotlight. This podcast is an unedited hour of live radio with award-winning host Kerri Miller. Season Three, starting January 2020, focuses on the counties that flipped party loyalties from one presidential election to the next. Season Two, which aired the summer of 2018, focused on the Mississippi River. Season One, which aired in the fall of 2017, examined issues that sometimes divide us as a nation.

    A Star is Born
    Kerri Miller is a thoughtful and erudite host, walking a fine political line each episode and showing respect to everyone’s point of view. I hope folks of all political stripes can find a way to listen to Flyover.

    What a gem
    Found this podcast while browsing around. Loved the topics, the civil discussion, and none of the melodramatics. I think the show can move more center. But honestly, this is currently as center as can be a show that I can find.

    Criminally underrated
    This is my favorite political podcast of the moment. The professional/academic/journalistic guests are insightful and respectful of opinions. The guests call in from across the country and represent overlooked portions of the US. As a former Midwesterner I find these perspectives invaluable. My only gripe is that the show (and host) tends to lean liberal. I would prefer a more centrist/objective perspective. Aside from that, this show is essential listening.
