8 Months Later: Brooke and Bob On Covering Trump

On the Media | Jul 21, 2017

So it's now a little over eight months since Election Day. We revisit the day after: the mood was tense, and our Executive Producer Katya Rogers seized the opportunity to offer listeners some ultra transparency, documenting the moment when Brooke and Bob were at their most doubting. The result: a raw podcast extra, in which the hosts argued about how the show should cover the Trump administration.

Flash forward to this past Thursday. Bob and Brooke revisit their November conversation and then turn on the mics. Eight months later, Bob expresses some regret about his approach.
