Who are the people that run the world?

It's not some shadowy secret society.

It's the very people you'd think.

Politicians, the ultra-rich, military contractors, monarchs, and media moguls.

Hi, I'm Sean Morrow, the host of Who Is, the first podcast from Now This and I Heart Radio.

On Who Is, I'll deep dive into the fascinating lives of the people who run things, whose decisions impact every aspect of our lives.

How did they get where they are today? And knowing that, what might they do next? How do they use all this power they've accumulated?

From Vice President Mike Pence and Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi,

to Chief Justice John Roberts and whatever it is Jared Kushner does,

On Who Is, I'll introduce you to the reporters and experts

who know these real-life world molders best,

sharp-eyed observers and confidants who ride with our subjects in slick black cars as they

make the decisions that define our everyday lives.

John Cheves, reporter at Kentucky's Lexington Herald Leader, told us this story from

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's

brief stint teaching politics decades ago. I got this one of his students at the time.

He went into the first day of class, walked up to the chalkboard to these political science

students and said, I'm going to teach you the three things you need to succeed in politics and to build

a political party. And he scribbled on the chalkboard and stepped away. And the three things were

money, money, and money. And that's just the first episode. Who is the podcast with me, Sean Maru,

every Tuesday for the stories you need to know about America's most powerful people.
