This week, Raleigh City Council at-large candidate Zainab Baloch joins us to discuss why millennials are stepping up to challenge the council’s sixty-year-old-plus majority. Staff writer Sarah Willets discusses a heated debate in Durham over a plan to increase density, and Leigh Tauss talks about how Raleigh churches are fighting a global ban on gay marriage within the United Methodist Church. We also premiere a new track from Ellis Dyson & The Shambles as part of our Triangle First series.
