The First Bite with Jim Malliard
An education podcast from Pennsylvania Politics and News Through A Parent Lens
Every day there’s a headline, a bill, a budget fight, or a decision being made that impacts Pennsylvania families.
“The First Bite” cuts through the noise with quick, direct conversations about education, government, advocacy, and the real-world impact policies have on parents and students.
Hosted by parent advocate Jim Malliard and powered by Candy Apple Advocacy, this daily podcast shines a light on the stories lawmakers, agencies, and media outlets are talking about — and sometimes the stories they are not.
Small bites. Big consequences.
