In Session
Mondays beginning January 13, 2025
Hosted by Prairie Public’s Ann Alquist and Erik Deatherage, In Session will keep you updated on the North Dakota Legislative Session — legislation that gets debated, sent back to committee, voted on again, and maybe put in front of the governor to sign.
It can be dry stuff, the legislature, but we’ll make it interesting — because what happens in Bismarck affects all of us.
Listen and subscribe to the In Session podcast for new episodes every Monday, starting January 13, throughout the duration of the legislative session.
