Conduit Street Podcast
From the halls of the State House to the heart of county government, the Conduit Street Podcast breaks down the decisions shaping Marylanders’ daily lives. Produced by the Maryland Association of Counties (MACo), this weekly podcast offers smart, accessible insights on the latest state and local policy — with counties always at the center.
Explore how legislation, executive actions, and agency decisions affect essential public services like education, infrastructure, public safety, health, and other core functions that matter most to Maryland residents. With special guests from across the state and the occasional world-famous dad joke, Conduit Street keeps you informed, engaged, and ready for what’s next.
Whether you’re a policymaker, a public servant, or just policy-curious, this is your front-row seat to Maryland’s political landscape.
Economics class is back in session. Brian McLaughlin, Founder & Managing Partner at PlanitWorks and a board member of the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond and the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta, rejoins Dom and Terry for a crash course on how interest rates shape housing. The three cover why a small rate move can sink a deal, whether manufactured and modular homes can close the affordability gap, and how today’s rates compare to history. Brian also gives listeners a deep dive into the little-known Federal Home Loan Bank system.
