I’m loving the new season, 51st, for its deep dive into DC history and it’s residents’ fight for self rule, representation, and statehood. And I am so delighted to hear from experts on DC’s history, like George Derek Musgrove and Chris Myers Asch (authors of Chocolate City) and longtime residents/icons, like Kojo Nnamdi!

Every time I listen to What’s with Washington I’m shocked at how little they actually say/tell me. The episode on fashion was a very good example. It’d be better if they’d develop more meat for their stories.

I love this podcast and have learned all kinds of interesting things about DC. The city has a real history and identity that isn’t immediately obvious especially to the many of us who have moved here. This podcast helps reveal all of that. Keep it up!!

What a great podcast! I listened to all the episodes and now am a WAMU member. I’ve learned so much about my city! Looking forward to more episodes!

Wow! I can’t believe how much I learned from this show. Mikaela is a compelling and informative host and I love the guests she brings on. Thanks WAMU! Can’t wait for season 2 (and beyond).

I almost never subscribe to new NPR podcasts because I always have my npr one app on so I figure I’ll hear them when they come up on there. But this series is soooo good. I heard 3 episodes on my npr app before I had to hear more. I love learning about the city I live in and love. Keep up the good work! Can’t wait for the next eps

What a great idea for a podcast! As a DMV native, I have found this so fun and informative. It’s a great, upbeat treat!

Great idea for a show. The first two episodes are excellent. The bikes in DC episode is full of well presented information with input from an outside expert on urban planning, Food for thought.

Loved the trailer and can’t wait to hear the rest of the show.

Glad this is now a podcast. Can’t wait for the next episode!
