So it’s now a year since Election Day 2016. Back in July we revisited the day after: the mood was tense, and our Executive Producer Katya Rogers seized the opportunity to offer listeners some ultra transparency, documenting the moment when Brooke and Bob were at their most doubting. The result: a raw podcast extra, in which the hosts argued about how the show should cover the Trump administration.

Flash forward to this this summer; Bob and Brooke re-listened to their November conversation and then turned on the mics. Eight months later, Bob expressed some regret about his approach.
