Angyanghaseyo from Seoul, South Korea. This is Andrea at Seoul American Middle High School,

where I just high-fived my AP government and politics students as they went off to take

the very last AP government exam at this school. In June, after 60 years,

Seoul American Middle High School will be closing. Lots of changes. This podcast was recorded at.

It is 10.40am on Tuesday, May 7th. Things may have changed by the time you hear the podcast.

All right, here's the show.

Hey there, it's the NPR Politics podcast. I'm Scott Detrello, I cover politics.

I'm Tamer Keith, I cover the White House. And I'm Mara Liason,

National and Political Correspondent. So today, we are talking 2020. We're going to talk about the

Trump and Biden campaigns, but first, we have some very important business to take care of. Do you

know why? No, why? Well, Mara, let me tell you why. Today, right this moment, it is our 500th

episode. Woohoo! We're catching up to morning edition. We are very slowly. It's about to

celebrate its 40th anniversary years. Back to that in a second, but we started this podcast back

in November of 2015, 800 years ago, basically, to follow a presidential election. So I guess it's

appropriate that an episode 500 we're talking about the next presidential election. We are going

to look back on those 500 episodes on Thursdays, weekly, round up, including a hall of fame of

Camp Let It Goes, which should be fun. And Mara is definitely in that hall of fame. I think that

is fair to say. But Mara, you mentioned morning edition, they changed their theme this week. There

was a lot of feels for listeners on the radio about changes. We've got some changes here in the

podcast as well, not as drastic though. If you looked in your podcast feed, you may have noticed that

as of today, we've got a new logo for the NPR Politics podcast. We figured after so many episodes,

we should change things up. Same podcast, new logo. I kind of like the new logo. Yeah, it's awesome.
