From their lips to your earbuds: hear from the Beltway's movers and makers.
Some leaders are household names. Others pull the strings from behind the cameras and away from the lights. The Beat DC podcast talks to them all.
Hosted by political commentator Jamal Simmons, with guest appearances by The Beat DC’s Tiffany D. Cross, we will delve into personal stories of success and struggle, exchange ideas, poke fun, and reveal the intellectual and the intellectually curious.
We do it all at the intersections of culture, race, ethnicity, and policy, natch. Tune in.
