Episode 15 – Season One Finale and America 250

BEACON MEDIA GUEST FEATURE

June 29, 2026

In this week’s episode, the guys wrap up season one and prepare for summer vacation as Jeremy Borden, longtime journalist and executive director of Beacon Media, turns the tables and asks them to reflect on the show so far. They share stories from listeners who reached out, including a young man near Fletcher who said the podcast inspired him to consider running for office. They also discuss the upcoming 250th anniversary of the United States, what patriotism means when you’re not sure about flying the flag, and why showing up at a neighbor’s door or a town hall might be the most radical act left in American politics.

Do You Even Live Here? is produced in partnership with Beacon Media and can be found on all major podcast platforms. Follow us on YouTube for a video version of the podcast and our social pages on Instagram and TikTok at our handle @youliveherepod. Thanks for listening!
