AZ Hot Takes Part 2 with Ashley Busada

Greater Phoenix Economic Council Episode 16

GPEC’s Southern belles are back for part two of Arizona hot takes! Host Casey Gilchrist and guest Ashley Busada dive into more crowd-sourced opinions about 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.

Covering everything from Arizona’s iconic sunsets to the prevalence of speakeasies in the region, plus the local obsession with Dutch Bros and In-n-Out, Casey and Ashley bring their Southern perspective to the Southwest. Whether you're a local Arizonan or simply seeking insight into life in Greater Phoenix, this amusingly informative dialogue is a must-listen!
