She is the Peabody award winning moderator for Washington Week, as well as moderator and senior correspondent for the PBS NewsHour. Tune in for a lively discussion about "Politics, Policy, and Reality from Washington to Vermont and Beyond." That’s Monday evening at 8 on VPR.

Washington Week to live audiences around the country as part of a 10-city tour. Now in its 40th year, Washington Week is the longest-running prime-time news and public affairs program on television.
