This week on Brews & Banter, Roman and Frank welcome Kailee Buller, candidate for New York's 22nd Congressional District, for an open and engaging conversation over a few cold beers.

Growing up in Auburn, New York, Kailee shares how her roots shaped her passion for public service and led her to a career in Washington, D.C. Before launching her campaign for Congress, she served as Chief of Staff at the U.S. Department of Agriculture and held leadership positions focused on agriculture, food policy, and supporting American farmers and rural communities.

During the conversation, we discuss Kailee's vision for Central New York, including strengthening agriculture, supporting local breweries and small businesses, expanding opportunities for homeowners and the real estate industry, and creating economic growth throughout the region. We also tackle one of the hottest topics in Central New York today—the development of data centers—and what they could mean for local communities.

Whether you agree or disagree politically, this episode is exactly what Brews & Banter is all about: sitting down over a beer 🍻, having respectful conversations, and getting to know the people behind the headlines. Kailee brought great energy to the studio, and we appreciated hearing her perspective and dedication to serving the people of the 22nd District.

This week on Brews & Banter, Roman and Frank welcome back Ali Nicholson for a fun and inspiring follow-up to one of our most memorable episodes.

When Ali first joined us, she shared the powerful story behind her book and her journey through an abusive relationship. Before leaving the studio, she talked about her dream of embracing a primitive lifestyle. This time, she's back to show us how that dream has become her reality.

Ali shares what it's like living both van life and on her own piece of land, creating a life centered around simplicity, self-reliance, and adventure. We talk about the challenges of adapting to different climates, managing supplies, finding creative solutions, and continuously learning to thrive in an unconventional lifestyle.

As an added bonus, Ali gave us an exclusive tour of her van, giving listeners and viewers a firsthand look at the tiny space she calls home and the innovative ways she's made it work.

We also catch up on her latest career ventures, the lessons she's learned along the way, and where life is taking her next. It was an absolute pleasure having Ali back in the studio, enjoying some great beers 🍻, hearing incredible stories, and thanking her for the thoughtful gifts she brought us.
