On this episode of the podcast, longtime executive producer Chad Banghart steps in as a guest host to interview Amanda Head about her unique role as a member of the White House press pool. As one of only two journalists to ever hold the “new media seat” twice, Amanda gives listeners a rare, behind-the-scenes look at what it’s REALLY like covering President Trump and his Administration from the James S. Brady Press Briefing Room.
Head shares the daily routine, the challenges of navigating a role without a true roadmap, and the difference in access and transparency the media has when compared to the Biden years. Amanda also opens up about the rewards and pressures of representing “new media” at the White House. Tune in to hear who the special visitor was that stopped by the briefing room today!
