I’m loving the new season, 51st, for its deep dive into DC history and it’s residents’ fight for self rule, representation, and statehood. And I am so delighted to hear from experts on DC’s history, like George Derek Musgrove and Chris Myers Asch (authors of Chocolate City) and longtime residents/icons, like Kojo Nnamdi!
Every time I listen to What’s with Washington I’m shocked at how little they actually say/tell me. The episode on fashion was a very good example. It’d be better if they’d develop more meat for their stories.
I love this podcast and have learned all kinds of interesting things about DC. The city has a real history and identity that isn’t immediately obvious especially to the many of us who have moved here. This podcast helps reveal all of that. Keep it up!!
What a great podcast! I listened to all the episodes and now am a WAMU member. I’ve learned so much about my city! Looking forward to more episodes!
Wow! I can’t believe how much I learned from this show. Mikaela is a compelling and informative host and I love the guests she brings on. Thanks WAMU! Can’t wait for season 2 (and beyond).
