About the Show

Hosted by Robert Bixby, Concord’s Senior Advisor and former Executive Director, the show dives into topics related to U.S. fiscal policy — like health care, taxes, national security, the national debt and more — with budget experts, industry leaders, elected officials and candidates for public office.

The show is broadcast on Concord, New Hampshire radio station WKXL each week on Wednesdays at 3:00 p.m., with subsequent rebroadcasts on Saturdays at 9:00 a.m. and Sundays at 11:00 a.m.
