GrokTalk!
Saturday morning at 9 – 11 am!
GrokTalk!
A mixture of politics, culture, current events, and well, politics, it is an Internet Radio show streaming live audio and video directly from GraniteGrok. Using a solidly Conservative and Rational Libertarian lens, we’ll take on almost any topic and have notables from the news, political figures, authors, and other opinionated folks for your edification and amusement.
The live audio stream is located here and the live video stream will go live as well. Podcasts will also be available after the show (usually within a day or so).

- NH GOP meeting – well, it’s where we’ll be and given the number of folks strolling through the halls, who the heck knows who will stop by to yak? We’ll talk to anyone and everyone – and argue if that’s what is called for too! While Mitt Romney is the keynote speaker, we’re more interested in what is going on in state right now as NH is Washington, DC in miniature.
- News and events of the day:
- You know, we never did talk about these – we’ll bring them up: Awards for the just completed Primaries here in NH – who gets what? And why?
- NH GOP Platform – well, what does a TEA Party outlook say about it (NH GOP Establishment or Grassroots friendly)?
- Democrat NH Gov. Lynch is still trying to pull an Obama and steal that which is not the State’s – the attempted rewrite of the rules governing who controls the $100 million of the Joint Underwriter Association (the malpractice $$ that the NH Supreme Court already said "NO!" to)
- Ad hoc – who knows where the ‘Grok will go!
