Caller of the Week

Each week, Matt Gagnon will be choosing the best people who call into the Morning News, who bring on an interesting take, a great question, or otherwise bring something to the discussion that is missing. Every Friday, Matt will declare one of the week’s best callers with the title of “Caller of the Week,” and a gift card to Massage Envy!

Remember, winners can be anyone of any political ideology making any kind of political point, so long as Matt is impressed with their thoughtfulness and believes they’ve elevated the discussion on the show. Keep those opinions coming, but keep them clear and to the point!
