Political Communication Unplugged

In this Best Of episode, we revisit our conversation with Al’s former Senate Communications Director, Ed Shelleby, to relive their time working together. Ed tells tales of him TRYING to manage Al's comedic impulses in serious situations, but also talks about the great work they accomplished together. 

Ed shares several behind-the-scenes stories including how Al, as a newly elected official, had to learn to "pivot" in interviews and explains how the office coined a brand new term: The Dehumorizer. 

But also, we cover the effectiveness of Al's time in the Senate. And they share many stories of how Al treated his staff like family. 

It's a different kind of show this week, but one we KNOW you will enjoy.
