Hi, it's David Remnick, a quick bit of news. We're doing something a little different with the podcast.

Instead of giving you the same hour-long program that we broadcast on the radio like we used to,

we're presenting the podcast in two episodes. You'll get all the same good stuff, but we've rearranged it to make for the best podcast listening experience.

Now, if you prefer the old way, you can hear the full hour exactly as we broadcast it at

New YorkerRadio.org. You can play it right on the homepage with the listen button. Really easy.

I'd love to know what you think of the new format, so email me and the radio team at

at NYC.org.

Here we go.

Welcome to the New Yorker Radio Hour. I'm David Remnick.

Palm Beach is on a long, skinny island, a barrier island, about 70 miles up the coast from Miami.

It's one of the wealthiest places in the country, a billionaire's paradise with crystal water, pristine sand, and 70 degree temperatures right in the middle of January.

And for much of this past winter and spring, Palm Beach was the home of President Donald

Trump.

A unique aspect of this presidency among many unique aspects

is the fact that the president owns a private club called Mar-a-Lago,

and he lives there much of the time, and he conducts presidential business

while mingling with members and dinner guests.

And today, we're going in.

A couple of months ago, the New Yorker's Lizzie Whittacom

traveled to Palm Beach,

along with Stephen Valentino from the radio hour.
