Keith Richards left the Westport Library quickly yesterday, soon after Ned Lamont presented him with the first-ever Connecticut Governor’s Award of Excellence.
But the governor hung around backstage, for a chat with Alisyn Camerota and Dave Briggs.
The 2 Westporters — veteran journalists with, among other outlets, CNN and Fox — have a new podcast: “Sanity.”
They’re naturals, asking intriguing questions in a casual, conversational style.

Governor Lamont clearly enjoyed their chat.
He talked about being a Rolling Stones “groupie,” who has seen at least one concert a decade from the 1970s through this one.
He showed off his Stones belt, revealed his favorite song, and discussed his 6-year quest to honor Richards (who finally awarded his “persistence”).
Briggs and Camerota then pivoted to politics. The governor mentioned areas where he can work with the Trump administration, and areas where he can’t.
The podcasters pressed him on whether he’ll run again (spoiler: he’ll decide by the end of the summer).
Finally, it was back to another pressing state matter: pizza.
