DYELH Podcast: Episode 8 – Parkway Controversy, Recent Travels, and the Voting Rights Act

BEACON MEDIA GUEST FEATURE

May 12, 2026

For this week’s episode, Preston and Dalton talk about a recent post they made in response to an ongoing project on the Blue Ridge Parkway and their own concerns, discuss their recent travels to Arizona and D.C., and wrap up by sharing Preston’s column on the Supreme Court’s attack on the Voting Rights Act as well as his own family’s connection to civil rights.

Give it a listen, you may even find out somebody is (possibly) running for President. (Hint, it’s neither Preston nor Dalton!)
