For nearly 10 years, John Hockenberry has been the voice of The Takeaway. On his last day as host of the program, John looks back on his tenure with the show, and how it's changed and evolved over the last decade. 

"We mean to explore, investigate, be unafraid in our critiques and uncynical in our hard looks at what we believe is really going on," John says. "It's what this show does — a show about democracy and the power of all of us, prodded sometimes I suppose, by a host who isn't just reading."
