The Break Down with Brodkorb and Becky is a podcast that I am hosting with Becky Scherr.
Originally called The Brodkorb Report, The Break Down with Brodkorb and Becky provides a unique insight into politics, policies, and news of the day by injecting humor, personal stories, and blunt analysis of the political environment – all with a refreshing and entertaining perspective.
While I’m no stranger to sharing my analysis and commentary about politics on both sides of the aisle, Becky Scherr has spent the last decade working behind the scenes. She will take a new opportunity to share a unique view – and serve as the podcast’s co-host.
Below are all episodes of The Break Down with Brodkorb and Becky. This page will be updated weekly with new episodes.
Welcome to another episode of The Break Down with Brodkorb and Becky. Michael Brodkorb is joined by Bryan Strawser, Principal and CEO of Bryghtpath and an expert with 30 years of experience in crisis management, business continuity, crisis communications, and global corporate security.
The discussion revolves around two critical topics: the immigration standoff in California and the rampant misinformation surrounding a recent law enforcement raid in Minneapolis. Bryan provides a deep dive into the complexities of these issues, detailing the legal and policy nuances involved. They also explore the impact of misinformation spread through social media and by elected officials, emphasizing the need for accurate and responsible communication.
Tune in for an insightful conversation that aims to move beyond the spin and into the facts.
