Scott Detrow is a White House correspondent for NPR and co-hosts the NPR Politics Podcast.
Bob Mondello, who jokes that he was a jinx at the beginning of his critical career — hired to write for every small paper that ever folded in Washington, just as it was about to collapse — saw that jinx broken in 1984 when he came to NPR.
Aisha Harris is a host of Pop Culture Happy Hour.
