Popular Reviews of DecodeDC

Andrea Seabrook quit her job as a Whitehouse reporter for NPR because she felt that by focusing on the day-to-day minutiae of politics, she was being forced away from the deeper issues in politics. She started this podcast to focus on really talking about politics, without having to toe the "good people on both sides" line. The results were fantastic. Then, after 2? seasons, the podcast was acquired by Scripps News, whatever that is, and Seabrook left. Her replacement, Jimmy Williams, was also a great host, but the podcast was no longer driven by the need to cut through the crap around reporting on politics in DC, and it became something different. Then it ended in December of 2017. Some of the episodes, like the one about mountaintop mining in Appalachia, or the one about the Texas town with no drinking water, would be worth going back for. But I miss Andrea Seabrook's approach, and I haven't really found anything like it since.
