Behind the headlines and official statements, there’s a deeper story about how power operates in Washington, D.C. District Sentinel Radio, from journalists Sam Sacks and Sam Knight, digs into those stories. This isn't a recap of the day's news; it's the podcast extension of their watchdog journalism at The District Sentinel News Co-op, dedicated to holding institutions accountable and following threads that others might overlook. Each episode builds on their cooperative reporting, offering context, interviews, and analysis that goes beyond the surface. You'll hear the specifics of policy fights, the impact of local decisions, and the often-overlooked human elements within the political machinery. It’s for anyone who suspects there’s more to the narrative and wants reporting that questions the official line. Tune in for a direct, unvarnished look at the forces shaping the district and the country, grounded in a persistent, cooperative model of journalism.
