Pints & Politics
A project dedicated to conversation and community.
Pints & Politics with Dan Parsons is a podcast & event driven project that brings together diverse thought leaders to discuss the most important issues of our day. Host Dan Parsons is a 20+ year public relations expert and political advisor with a love for local food, craft beer & cocktails and engaging conversation.
Each episode of Pints & Politics is driven to presenting ideas in an atmosphere of cooperation and community. Oh…and we do so while enjoying a craft beer or locally sourced cocktail.
