Do you ever look at political headlines and go, huh? Well, that's exactly why the NPR Politics

Podcast exists. We're experts, not just on politics, but in making politics make sense.

Every episode, we decode everything that happened in Washington and help you figure out what it all

means. Give politics a chance with the NPR Politics Podcast, available wherever you get

your podcasts. Hey, before we get to this week's show, we're working on something new for NPR

plus supporters. They're pulling me out of mothballs to answer some of your car questions. So if you

have a car question, you'd like to ask me, I'll give you a number and you can call in a moment.

And just like the old days, our extremely lazy producers will eventually listen to the messages, pick a few callers for me, we'll set up a time to talk, and I'll screw up the answers, just like the old days.

NPR plus supporters will find these occasional, and I do me in occasional episodes in their NPR Plus car talk feed.

So if you have a car question, here's the number.

It's 888-522-5478.

That's 888-522-5478.

Now, here's the show.

Thank you. the show.

and he had several suggestions for items that might be on the menu.

Well, you remember the idea? The idea was that all the food was free, but every 10 minutes,

the waiters and waitresses would come over and badger you for a donation.

Well, two of my favorites, the only two that he had on his list were the Nina Totenberger
