Welcome to the first two episodes of our series documenting our Kickstarter-funded trip to South Carolina.

On the first episode, Dustin and Jacob are joined by Maria Gibbs to reflect on our drive from South Bend to Asheville, North Carolina and interview her mother Cynthia Gibbs about her support for Mayor Pete and the political environment in her community.

On the second episode, Dustin and Jacob are joined by Maria Gibbs and John Garry to reflect on a Friday in Columbia, South Carolina where we ate barbecue, knocked on doors in suburban and rural neighborhoods, and attended Mayor Pete’s final town hall in the state.
