North Carolina Governor Josh Stein takes us from his days as a high school soccer star to the frontlines of our state's biggest challenges. He explains why NC governors often have to lead with one hand tied behind their back, how unregulated THC products pose a growing public health risk, and why Western North Carolina might just be the most unforgettable place on Earth. Josh makes his case for a fairer, more functional state government while dishing on bipartisan wins, ‘80s soft rock, and his go-to Jersey Mike’s order.👉 Support the Hometown Holler by becoming a Patron or by leaving a tip on PayPal
