The Heartland POD
735 episodes - English - Latest episode: about 2 months ago -American politics from a Heartland perspective.

All three are born in Missouri with various life experiences including Rachel's 20 years in L.A. before returning to St. Louis, and Sean's time spent moving from Missouri, to New Orleans, to New York, and a spot of time in Seattle before settling in Denver, while Adam has slowly moved from the east to west side of Missouri through his education.
