Grand Old Podcasts (OPB)
Oregon Public Broadcasting covers the Oregon Republican podcast trend revived by Crosstabs
Even before the current glut of audio content, GOP legislative staffers Reagan Knopp and Bryan Iverson had been producing their own podcast, “Crosstabs”, for about a year. The show is more freewheeling than those from sitting lawmakers, and doesn’t shy from campaign speculation and political gossip.
“Entertaining is as important as substance when you do podcasts,” Iverson, who is married to Republican state Rep. Vikki Breese Iverson, R-Prineville, said recently when asked about the new offerings from his party. “Can you actually hold an audience, grow an audience and make it valuable? If that’s the case, then I’m all for it.”
