Meet the D.C. power brokers who aren’t politicians

Some of the biggest movers and shakers in D.C. politics are the lobbyists, donors and congressional staffers behind the scenes. Ben Terris is a writer in The Washington Post’s Style section with a focus on national politics. He joins guest host John McCaa to discuss the names we don’t know who are shaping politics today, and the wild stories that make up life on The Hill. His book is “The Big Break: The Gamblers, Party Animals, and True Believers Trying to Win in Washington While America Loses Its Mind.”
