Hey Tim.

Hey Scott.

So, I covered Congress.

You covered the White House, but before we both did that, we were both member station reporters.

Where we covered politics, I started at KQED.

I was at WOSU in Ohio, KPCC.

And I also worked at KQED and before that, I was at WITF in Pennsylvania, both places

I was covering the state house.

Okay, so all year we've talked a lot on the podcast about state politics.

And sometimes we would bring on reporters from local stations onto the podcast, but even

when we didn't, the very first thing that we at NPR do, every time there's something

interesting going on, the local level is checkout what the local member station is reporting

on it.

And because of the way that the whole public radio network is set up, NPR is in communities

across the country at the local level in the city hall in the state capital.

Which is pretty cool if you think about it.

So, all of that is to say that if you were to go out and support your local public radio

station, which we really want you to do, then you're also, by extension, supporting the

NPR politics podcast and everything that we do.

But even aside from that, it's such a great thing to support because you are supporting

fact-based public service journalism that keeps you informed about the community that

you live in.
