Well, it was quite the hiatus.

The last Capital Notes Podcast was recorded at the end of 2007, and it may have seemed as though we were just going to let the project fade away. Not so fast.

Capitol Weekly editor Anthony York and I are back to our musings about the latest in political news. The podcast was sidelined for the same reason that this newsblog was put on ice back in January: the birth of my now 10-week-old daughter. Now that I’ve acclamated to life without sleep, it seemed a good time to reengage. The big change for the immediate future is that we’ll be doing the podcast at the start of every week with an eye looking forward.

This week, we talk about the status of the messy state budget. And we look at some of the more interesting legislative matchups that will appear on the June primary ballot.

It’s good to be back.
