Hi, this is Matt Lent, and I'm just now running a class

kilometer 31 at the Athens Marathon.

The original route from Marathon to Athens in Greece.

This podcast is recorded at two o'clock on Monday, November 12th.

Things may have changed by the time you hear this.

Alright, enjoy the show.

Hey there, it's the NPR Politics Podcast.

Congress is returning to Washington this week for an end of year session that's likely

going to bring with it a good bit of drama.

Also, there is more drama when it comes to who might lead both the Democrats and the

Republicans in the House.

I'm Tamer Keith, I cover the White House.

I'm Kelsey Snell, I cover Congress.

I'm Scott Detreau, I also cover Congress.

And it's good thing that we have the Congress people here.

Yes, because there is some Congress to talk about.

It is a big week for Congress.

When they come back in session after an election is one of the most interesting times

in a Congress when they've left things undone.

And there are some things undone.

Is that right?

Certainly are.
