While this is not a major thing, I have to say that the only thing that surprised me in the clips from your Kolodin chat was his reference to the (unattributed) George Lakoff line and book title, "Don't Think of an Elephant" - not only that he may have read this book that provides an understanding of some important aspects of messaging, but also that he added "pink" to it. Sort of takes it out of the Republican-elephant metaphor and moves it to drinking (which may have been appropriate given the setting).
Kudos for providing a platform to let political figures speak, as the best way to educate the public is to let them hear the answers to fair questions posed by well-informed reporters - so far, every forum you’ve hosted has been excellent - look forward to hearing from Hickman and Bowers! (another outlet doing great work in this area is the AZCentral’s “The Gaggle” podcast - never thought I would be lauding AZ Central but their interviews are non-partisan and really informative)

Hank, is that cool Arizona Agenda Bolo tie available somewhere? It is great!
Take the interviews on the road. Come to Tucson. Would Justine Wadsack agree to an interview?
Though not a fan of his politics or party, I actually wouldn't mind meeting Rusty Bowers. Might be one of the 10,000 in attendance that night.
