Playbook Audio Briefing. Today we're bringing you the first of three bonus episode from our live podcast taping that we recorded at 6th and I Synagogue Thursday night. Up first is our panel with Politico All-Stars Rachel Bade, Sung Min Kim, and Annie Carney. We talked about covering Congress, the White House, Jared and Ivanka, Donald Trump, and the climate
