Welcome to The Grand Old Podcast, the voice of the Republican Central Committee of Talbot County, Maryland. I am your host Mary-Eileen Russell. Please join us every Sunday afternoon for our weekly show, which afterwards will be available for streaming on your devices. As citizens of a free republic we need to stay informed about current events in the world, in the nation, in our state and in our local community. We want our fellow citizens to be informed as well, so we will try to provide news and commentary not available on the mainstream media. We plan to recommend our favorite websites as well as share book and movies reviews. We will also tell you about our upcoming events as well as events planned by our elected officials. As we hope to build community, we invite our listeners to email questions and comments to TalbotCountyGOP@gmail.com. Please consider joining our Facebook group Talbot County Republicans.
