About this listen

Welcome to Capitol Conversations, your go-to show for the ins and outs of Washington DC. A lot of political shows are just for the lobbyists of the Beltway, the Hill folk living in the DC-Maryland-Virginia bubble. Not us — we’re here for everyone! We want to be the source for all things politics for your southern belles, your Midwest friends, and anyone on either coast. For staffers and lawmakers on Capitol Hill, we’re here for you, too! We’ll break down the latest bills, political infighting, campaign seasons, and the occasional 28-hour days in the US Capitol, covering our nation’s lawmakers.
