Episode 134, with guests Ashley Parker and Stephen Ives

Shining a light on the theater of politics, White House veteran Josh King and his guests of Beltway insiders & outsiders pull back the curtain each week on the national drama and events driving the images and headlines. PoliOptics -- a mash-up of 'politics' and 'optics' -- sees Washington as a long-running performance, with the nation's leaders as the choreographers and actors, the media as the theater and chorus, and the American public as the audience. Enjoy the show, whether enraptured or skeptical. Read further commentary at www.polioptics.com and follow the show on Twitter @Polioptics.
