Guests - Peter Churchbourne, Joel Strabala

Guests - Peter Churchbourne, Joel Strabala Friday on Winn Tucson opened the last weekend before ballots start dropping with two conversations that could not be more different in scale — one national, one hyper-local — and both indispensable for the moment we're in. A brand-new organization that has actually been around for 36 years announced itself to the country this week. And the man who knows Pima County's election machinery more precisely than anyone else laid out the specific vote center schedule, the Green Valley problem, the federal court date on Tuesday, and the arithmetic that makes every Republican vote count.

Guests - Terry Gilbert, Scott Schara

Guests - Terry Gilbert, Scott Schara Thursday on Winn Tucson opened with breaking news from Washington and closed with something more quietly consequential: the final installment of an eight-week series by a father who turned the worst thing that ever happened to him into the most practical warning he could offer anyone who might one day need a hospital. Between those two bookends: a portrait of a changed city that neither guest could have imagined when they first came to know it, and the specific tactics of an advocacy model that might have saved one girl's life — and could save yours.

Hosts - Kathleen Winn & Dave Smith. Guests - Ava Chen, Anthony Dunham

Hosts - Kathleen Winn & Dave Smith. Guests - Ava Chen, Anthony Dunham Wednesday on Winn Tucson was a show assembled in motion. Dave Smith was holding the studio alone when the show started, Anthony Dunham was in-studio ready to talk about the LD-17 State Senate race, and Kathleen Winn was still in the air somewhere between Washington, D.C. and Tucson — having started the day before 4 a.m. She made it. By midday she was on air, back from the Presidential 1776 Award finals at the White House and steering straight into China Watch Wednesday, which arrived with intelligence about a new nuclear pressure circle being assembled around Taiwan and Japan, Chinese police deployed in South Korea's elections, and the framework that explains every seemingly isolated political event happening around the world simultaneously.

Guest Hosts - Dave and Betsy Smith.  Guests - Eileen Wilson, Steve Selvy Tuesday on Winn Tucson found the hosts in unfamiliar chairs — Dave and Betsy Brantner Smith filling in while Kathleen Winn attended the Presidential 1776 Award finals at the White House in Washington, D.C. The morning covered California's impossible election math, a Sparkle for Freedom Gala update, a Carmelo Anthony trial preloading a summer of riots, and the most personal fight either Smith could name: the attempt by three far-left outsiders to take over the town of Marana. Kathleen called in from the Hotel Washington to break news of an Apache helicopter being shot down in Iran — and to confirm the pilots survived.

Guests - Josh Jacobsen, Matt Beienburg, Stephen Mundt

Guests - Josh Jacobsen, Matt Beienburg, Stephen Mundt Monday on Winn Tucson came back from the White House with energy and kept it all the way through. Three guests, three completely different battlegrounds — all of them converging on the same diagnosis: institutions that are supposed to serve the public have been captured by people who are working against it, and the only path out is to vote people out, sue them out, or constitutionally prohibit what they're doing.
