Municipal government: a trap that catches those too incompetent, too corrupt, too incompetent even for national politics. And the greatest of these, the mayor - the highest political office one can hope to reach with a truly oppositional personality or a crack addiction. Mattie Lubchansky, Riley Quinn and November Kelly are teaming up to make a podcast investigating these mayors. From petty Bonapartes to flagrant mafiosi, these are their stories.

Every other week, we'll have an episode on the free feed. For more Mayoral goodness, check out the bonus episodes on our Patreon.

Did you know that Alaska is more than its admittedly gorgeous train livery? That's right! They have mayors. In the shadow of Mt. POW/MIA (really) lies the town of Wasilla. We delve into what it was like before the national spotlight shone on it, a simple strip mall Deadwood where you could drive as drunk as you'd like while you carted dozens of mattresses in the back of your extended cab pickup, firing your handgun wildly out the window. Then, of course, it all changed. Why not sign up for the BONUS feed and get more Mayors? nogodsnomayors.com is your destination.…
 
We talk (finally) about the mayor that everyone sent in, South Carolina's George Garner, who was killed recently in a police chase, after his entire police force resigned under semi-mysterious circumstances on the Carolingian Steppe (a thing we invent).

Don't worry, we found his soundcloud. Check out the episode on our Patreon at nogodsnomayors.com!…
