This one has an interesting story. Pete was doing a stump stop in Nashville and called a local country radio station’s political guy, Blair Garner, to ask for an interview. Mr. Garner was “incredibly flattered” and jumped on the chance. He interviewed Pete in the studio, but then the station boss, a Trump supporter apparently, would not let him air it. So Mr. Garner put it up on Soundcloud and tweeted about it. This is a terrific 20 minute interview about religion, conservativism and country music.
