  • Whatever Happened to Manners?
    Dec 16 2025

    In this candid and lively episode of People, Politics and Pork, hosts Newell Clark and Greg Webb take a deep breath and dive into a topic we all encounter but rarely dissect: rudeness. From cell phone zombies and checkout-line offenders to the bigger cultural and generational shifts that have made civility feel like a lost art, Newell and Greg reflect on the "why" behind today's increasingly coarse behavior. Is it a post-COVID symptom? A byproduct of social media? Or just human nature under pressure?

    With their trademark blend of neighborly wit, personal stories, and thought-provoking insights, the hosts walk us through how rudeness has crept into daily life—whether at restaurants, in retail, or even on the roads. Yet, rather than offering a full-throated rant, they propose a hopeful lens: what if kindness, grace, and old-school manners could make a comeback? This episode is both a social observation and a gentle challenge to be better—to each other and ourselves.

  • Potholes, Parks & Power: Why Local Politics Deserve Your Vote
    Nov 11 2025

    In this episode of People, Politics and Pork, hosts Newell Clark and Greg Webb dive into the often-overlooked but critically important world of local elections. With their signature mix of wit, wisdom, and genuine civic passion, the duo unpacks how the decisions made closest to home—from city councils and school boards to mayors and county commissioners—can have a bigger impact on your day-to-day life than anything happening in Washington, D.C.

Along the way, they reflect on personal stories from the campaign trail, discuss the emotional toll of public service, and encourage listeners to get involved—not just by voting, but by understanding who's on the ballot and what they stand for.

    Whether you're a seasoned voter or someone who's never stepped inside a polling booth for a local race, this episode will leave you thinking differently about civic engagement—and hopefully, more empowered to participate.
