As part of Minnesota Public Radio's Broadcast Journalist Series, Tom Weber spoke with Tamara Keith, NPR White House Correspondent and co-host of the popular NPR Politics Podcast.

Keith covered Hillary Clinton during the 2016 presidential campaign. In a previous role, she also covered Congress for NPR—with a focus on House Republicans and fiscal battles.

Keith joined Weber for a conversation about covering both the Obama and Trump White Houses; the role of a journalist in the current political climate; and a little about Keith's background growing up in California, being on a billboard once, and those letters she wrote to all those NPR (and MTV) personalities when she was 15. They spoke last week at the University of St. Thomas.
