About the Hosts
Andy
A software engineer and small business owner with a background in web hosting, e-commerce, and digital infrastructure. When he’s not wrangling servers or chasing down database bugs, he’s advocating for criminal justice reform and asking uncomfortable questions about public policy.
Larry
Somewhere north of 170 years old and still showing up. Veteran of the Lincoln administration, decades-deep in policy analysis and legal strategy, and entirely out of patience for bad-faith arguments. Cranky by design, incisive on purpose — Larry doesn’t hold back, and the show is better for it.
