When was the last time you felt like you knew what was going on in the world of politics?
So how do you get a deeper understanding of the issues and the arguments that frame them?
We created Mastering the Room, a podcast that showcases diverse points of view to help you get to the truths that are often drowned out by shouting and sound biting.
I'm not a politician. I'm not a journalist. I'm an academic. I teach this stuff because I live this stuff. After spending years on Capitol Hill myself. I'm Casey Burgat. I know what questions to ask, and maybe more importantly, I know what questions they don't want me to ask.
Find Mastering the Room wherever you get your podcasts, brought to you by George Washington University's Graduate School of Political Management, where the next generation of political leaders learn from this generation's practitioners.
