In this Hearing the Council episode, we get to know Ward 3's Matthew Frumin. Councilmember sat for his first interview just eight days after being sworn into office--a Hearing the Council record!

We discuss:

- How he dodged COVID through an entire campaign, but how it caught up with him at the last moment and nearly made him miss his swearing-in

- His world travels during his time with the State Department, including his favorite destinations

- The unlikely way the OJ Simpson trial temporarily impacted what name he goes by

- His run for Congress in 2000

- And, as always in initial Hearing the Council interviews...dessert rankings!
