This week, we sat down with Peter Hamby, the host of Snapchat's "Good Luck America" and contributing writer for Puck News and Vanity Fair. After getting his master's in journalism at Georgetown, Hamby started his career at CNN and has worked at Snapchat since 2015. In this episode, the flies discuss the legitimacy of social media news, and how to appeal to an audience that grew up on the platform. Hamby also dives into his experience with Puck News and weighs the value of the journalist versus the institution. Take a listen!

Ever wonder what really happens behind the closed doors where political power is exercised? The Fly offers exactly that perspective, a weekly journey into the rooms where consequential decisions are negotiated and made. This isn't a theoretical discussion; it's an audio postcard from inside the Oval Office, a campaign war room, a governor's mansion, or the corridors of Congress. The podcast, produced by Georgetown's Institute of Politics and Public Service, is built on the premise that understanding process is just as important as debating policy. You'll hear the strategies, the tensions, and the human dynamics that shape our government's most impactful moments. What makes the series particularly engaging is its unique hosting perspective: it's guided by a couple of curious college students who are themselves navigating the complexities of the American political system. Their genuine quest to learn how things actually get done creates a refreshing and accessible entry point for anyone interested in the mechanics of power. Each episode feels like a candid conversation, pulling back the curtain on the often-opaque world of politics. Tune in for a grounded, insider look that goes beyond the headlines and soundbites.
