Volume 1 of Those People explores "Political People" in particular, Democratic Candidates for Congress.

In this episode, we take a break from the candidates of this series to talk about the people who COVER them, with our second of this season’s “Political Podcast People” episodes.

In this episode, Mitch speaks with Lety Stanton Verduzco (whose name he apparently cannot pronounce on the first try) who is a grassroots activist and host of the Good Guy Pete Podcast, a podcast covering the presidential bid go Mayor Pete Buttigieg through a South Bend perspective.

She’s been a go-to source of coverage behind the scenes of the Pete campaign, and we chatted about her family’s journey to South Bend, her entry into activism and politics and what exactly goes into turning a small meme page into a following of thousands and a successful podcast.

Lety is self-described as one of Those... #SouthBend! #Progressive #Lesbian #Mother #Wife #Advocate(for the children) People.

You can follow her on Twitter @GoodGuyPete2020 & a few other accounts if you can track her down ;-).
