You're going to be. My fellow Americans, Americans, this is America's day. This is Democracy's Day, a day of history and hope of renewal and resolve. Today we

celebrate the triumph not of a candidate but of a cause, the cause of

democracy. The will of the people has been heard and the will of the people has been heeded.

Hi, this is Kevin the producer.

We started the ticket at the outset of 2020

before there was even a Democratic nominee, before there was a pandemic,

before an insurrection attempt at the Capitol, and yesterday there was a transfer of power.

And so the ticket, at least for now, at least in this form is over.

As we move into a new administration,

Isaac is going to be shifting gears,

not covering the race, but covering the new administration.

And so we're going to pause this show for a little bit while we work on new projects.

For one, we're going to be launching a new show in a couple weeks called The Experiment.

It's going to examine the contradictions and ideals at the heart of the American experiment.

When it comes out on February 4th, we'll put the first episode in this feed.

I think you'll really enjoy it. You'll get that first sample here on this feed.

And if you like it, you can go ahead and subscribe. But for today I wanted to turn the

tables on Isaac a bit. He's been our guide to this crazy year. He's interviewed Arnold Schwarzenegger

and Hillary Clinton. We recorded an episode on a bus with Beto O'Rourke in the basement of the

Mother Emanuel Church with Corey Booker and unfortunately way too many to count on

Zoom. He's had this rare front row seat to this race and so is the guest for this closing episode.

We're going to talk about Trump, Biden, and what he's learned from covering this surreal period of history. you've woken up in Washington where Donald Trump is not the president of the United States in like four years and it's a strange moment.
