So, we kinda stumbled into this one. We set out to get to know Alethia Kasben a bit better and discovered we were talking to a reporter who covers Michigan’s marijuana industry on - wait for it - April 20. No way!
Alethia is much more than that, of course. She’s been covering the Michigan Capitol for 10 years. Now, in addition to the pot beat, she is managing editor of Gongwer News Service and still finds time to cover the day-to-day in the Michigan House of Representatives for the daily newsletter.
We hit on her professional beginnings, Twitter, her love for all-night House sessions and Liverpool soccer. And just so you know, there isn’t anything funnier than a bunch of non-pot smokers making pot jokes… like Matt’s pot car.
Dude, it’s the Cold Oatmeal Podcast.
