NPR Politics Podcast Radio Special

Wednesday, January 11, 2017, 8 PM on News2

The second week of 2017 is turning out to be a very busy one in American politics. As the U.S. prepares for a new presidential administration to take office, The NPR Politics Team is covering a flurry of confirmation and intelligence hearings at the Capitol, a "farewell" speech by President Obama, and a news conference held by President-elect Trump. The NPR Politics Podcast Radio Special offers reporting and analysis of all of these events.

He joined the station as All Things Considered host in 1997, hosted Morning Edition in 2000 and 2001, then returned to the ATC host chair from 2007 to 2016. One of his Morning Edition newscasts earned WVPE a Best Radio Newscast Award from the Associated Press in 2002. An Iowa native, Tony got his start in radio as a student at Eastern Mennonite University (EMU), Harrisonburg, Va., and managed the radio station there for three years after graduating.
