Host Geoff Norcross talks with OPB Senior Political Reporter Jeff Mapes, Political Analyst Bill Lunch, and News Director Anna Griffin. We explore the politics of oil trains in the Columbia River Gorge and discuss what to expect from the fall debates between the major candidates for Oregon Governor.

And our "That's So Oregon" segment includes coffee delivered by drone, a Ron Wyden character in an off-Broadway play, and Oregon’s representative at a “healthy kids” state dinner (which involves kale, of course).
