The Break Down with Brodkorb and Becky

Michael Brodkorb, Becky Scherr

Booking Overview

A weekly political analysis and interview show focused on Minnesota politics, elections, policy, and campaign strategy, typically featuring state candidates, political figures, and other locally relevant voices alongside host commentary. Credible pitches would include Minnesota elected officials and candidates, campaign strategists, political analysts, and public-accountability experts with direct state or election expertise; the credential threshold is accessible, but the series has concluded, so active booking is unlikely unless Michael Brodkorb’s planned new podcast continues the format.
