This week’s latest podcast of Talk Business & Politics is out and uploaded. On this week’s agenda:

Gov. Asa Hutchinson announces a May 26 special session primarily to pass a deal for the state’s second superproject – a multi-year, multi-billion military vehicle factory at Lockheed Martin in Camden. How super is this superproject? We’ll explore.

Along with the superproject — health care reform, Presidential primaries, and more have been the topics of political conversation this week. Our Talk Politics roundtable guests include KATV’s Janelle Lilley plus TB&P contributors Frank Scott and Steve Brawner discuss.

Digital media expert Skot Covert of Impact Management Group has been crunching numbers. He’ll join the show to look at who was quiet and who made noise in the most recently completed legislative session. What does the Big Data tell us?

Plus, highway funding is a national crisis and Arkansas’ roads are undergoing a new study. House Revenue and Tax committee chairman Rep. Joe Jett, D-Success, has an idea that could change the conversation.
