WASHINGTON, D.C. – The office of U.S. Senator Angus King (I-Maine) today released the January edition of his Inside Maine podcast. In this edition, Senator King is joined by Senators Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) and Joe Manchin (D-W. Va.), two colleagues who worked with Sen. King as part of the Common Sense Coalition, the bipartisan group put together in response to last week’s government shutdown. All three Senators worked throughout the weekend to bring an end to the shutdown through bipartisan discussions and “shuttle diplomacy”, and are continuing their efforts as the group tackles a number of important issues before the Senate. In this episode, the Senators discuss the negotiation process and identify ways to improve the way the Senate conducts its business.

The “Inside Maine Podcast with Senator Angus King” is a 30-minute program that aims to help keep Maine people informed about issues of the day, how they affect life in the state, and how they factor into Senator King’s work as one of two independents in the U.S. Senate. Senator King’s podcast builds on his existing radio show that airs on Newsradio WGAN in Portland, Maine between 10 and 11 a.m. on almost every last Saturday of the month.
