Oregon D.O.G.E.
Oregon D.O.G.E. is a no-nonsense podcast that pulls back the curtain on Oregon’s government, policies, and spending. With a rotating cast of legislators and policy experts, this podcast exposes wasteful spending, bureaucratic overreach, and hidden inefficiencies that impact Oregonians every day.
From the state budget crisis to agencies creating rules without oversight, Oregon D.O.G.E. takes a deep dive into the policies shaping Oregon’s future. Whether it’s out-of-control taxes, reckless regulations, or the growing power of unelected bureaucrats, we ask the tough questions and hold government accountable.
