Each week, host Mike Richman and veteran political consultant Aaron Haar create a different kind of political show in our unique age. Frank without being combative, civil without being bland, conversational while still remaining on point and revealing, NorCal News Now is meant to be the kind of political show people of good will on all sides can engage without devolving into a cable-style shouting match. 

They talk to Democrats, Republicans and third party candidates, activists, analysts and more. From local city council races to State Assembly, US Congress and Senate, they ask everyone the questions on all our minds.

Join us to create a civil place with honest discussion if not always easy agreement. It's at the crossroads of politics and real life.
