WelcomeTo The Show

I appreciate you checking out In The Middle. If you are anything like me you have gotten real tired of how our country is being run.

I wanted to create a political commentary show that steps outside the polarization of the two party political system, and just talks about being an American, and what we need to do to fix our country for the better.

I am not a professional podcaster but I believe in this message and hope you will help me spread it.

Please tune it to this daily show where I bridge the gap between politics and reality, will always bring you the truth, and will teach to pick up on the lies and tricks our political system plays on us daily.

After a couple days off I am back with a show about America. Taking a page from Andy Frisella, I am just giving it to you straight today. It may seem like a rant, but in my mind its a show about an obvious observation. I think America has descended into stupidity. You decide.
