Washington Week with The Atlantic

Dan Balz on how politics has evolved

Season 2025 Episode 35 | 7m 07s

No one in Washington knows national politics like Dan Balz. He is a master of the granular detail, and he is also an early spotter of grand, sweeping trends. He and Jeffrey Goldberg discuss how things have changed — and how they’ve stayed the same — since he first came to Washington in 1972.

Major funding for “Washington Week with The Atlantic” is provided by Consumer Cellular, Otsuka, Kaiser Permanente, the Yuen Foundation, and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
