Episode 200: A Polilogue Shake Up

For our 200th episode, we decided to change up the structure and examine the Sunday shows with a new lens. Brendan viewed 3 shows: State of the Union, Face the Nation, and Meet the Press. Naomi watched Fox News Sunday and This Week. And so without knowing what happened on the other’s shows, we shared with each other what stood out.

From both political and journalistic standpoints, we had a lot to unpack!
