After the emotionally charged week of Charlottesville and President Trump’s bombastic press conference, all the hosts knew this week’s episode mattered. But it was Martha Raddatz’s performance on This Week that demonstrated the full power of Sunday morning political shows. Her performance is precisely why we value this medium! She brought stern journalism, a carefully-curated guest list, and an illuminating perspective to an extremely sensitive issue.

On this week’s episode of Polilogue, we examine the successes and challenges of race-driven conversations across the shows… but we commit the bulk of our episode to Raddatz on This Week.
