In this our very first episode, we introduce ourselves and let you know what you can expect from this podcast.

Beyond Reproach is a podcast about scandals and scandalousness in government and politics, and sometimes we’re pretty scandalous ourselves!

We discuss our working definition of “beyond reproach” and how it relates to the aim of the podcast. We chat about our nerves, the sound of our voices, and the reason why all of our episodes will feature a vintage drink pairing.

Also covered: newbie woes, media blackouts, disinformation, megalodons, and Tux’s food blog.
