AZ Hot Takes - Ashley Busada
This episode gets spicy! Listen in for a light-hearted discussion where self-proclaimed Southern girls Casey Gilchrist and Ashley Busada react to crowd-sourced "hot takes" on Greater Phoenix and Arizona.
What is a "hot take?" — A hot take is a quickly produced, strongly worded and often deliberately provocative or sensational opinion or reaction.
From the authenticity of Arizona's Mexican food to the intensity of its sun and the spirit of its sports fans, Casey and Ashley tackle it all with the charm of a Southern drawl and the boldness of a desert sun. Whether you're a Greater Phoenix local or simply curious for an insiders take on these controversial topics, this episode is enlightening and entertaining!
