Greetings, Lowdowners—Deanna here!
It’s been a while since we’ve all sat down together to do some 12-oz elbow-bends, so let’s remedy that right away. Hightower and I will be going live here on Substack on Thursday, January 29th at 6pm CT for a little Happy Hour Q&A.
What are your burning questions as the world seems to be a bit burny right now?
We’ll pick a selection from the comments you leave on this post, and bring a few of our own. Want know what Hightower thinks about a particular aspect of the current situation? Have a suggestion for what we might cover more deeply in the future? Want to get insight and perspective from the Populist historical view? Ready for a good story from the rollicking days of campaigning in Texas? (Please, someone ask him about the farmers and ranchers that used to fly him around in small planes. You won’t be disappointed.)
Join us live here on Thursday — see you there!
