Plastic Cup Politics: Recent Episodes
DJLarue
Local politics, local booze, local humor, but a big, global heart. Sounds a little lame? It isn't, not really. Mark LaRue, your host and producer, is an AZ craft beer distributor and enthusiast, as well as one hell of a good DJ. He was your host on the internet version of the SkaPunk show and now he is your gateway to central AZ politics, particularly in the Prescott Valley. Dr. Sean Hays, Ph.D. (who would normally never refer to himself as a doctor or a Ph.D.) is an information security analyst for the travel and finance industries, author, college professor, and an expert in the impact of emergent technology on the battlefield. Mark and Sean are defacto AZ natives and political mavens. Each week we will cover local, state, national, and international politics, as well as booze and occasionally medical marijuana.
Dr. Sean Hays PhD. and Mark LaRue talk impeachment, Covid relief, and why Q-Anon wants Myanmar.
