Content Themes
The podcast focuses on a range of critical themes such as reproductive rights, government policies, and social justice. Episodes include discussions on the current state of abortion rights in New Hampshire, and challenges related to healthcare access and legislative actions affecting residents.
New Hampshire Has Issues is the (award-winning!) podcast that dares to ask, how many issues can one state have?
New episodes on Tuesdays.
Do children in New Hampshire have a constitutional right to a public education? The State of New Hampshire is currently asking its Supreme Court to say…nope.
In this episode, Liz talks with Zack Sheehan, executive director of the NH School Funding Fairness Project, about thirty years of school funding lawsuits (Claremont, ConVal, and Rand), the state's appeal asking the court to throw out the Claremont decisions entirely, and what all of it could mean for you and your community.
Strong recommendation: make an apple crisp while you listen (need a recipe?).
