The program was hosted by former Harvard Institute of Politics fellow Deborah Arnie Arnesen who was also formerly a New Hampshire state legislator, gubernatorial candidate and New Hampshire candidate for U.S. Congress. Arnesen additionally hosted a weekday radio program Chowder in the Morning from station WCCM as well as a number of other radio broadcasts.
