Every weekday NPR's best political reporters come to you on the NPR Politics Podcast to explain the big news coming out of Washington, the campaign trail, and beyond.

They don't just tell you what happened, they tell you why it matters.

Join the NPR Politics Podcast every afternoon to understand the world through political eyes.
