John Dickerson and Political Gabfest co-hosts reflect ahead of 15-year anniversary
In the dark ages of podcasting, "CBS This Morning" co-host John Dickerson joined the fray with two Slate Magazine colleagues, Emily Bazelon and David Plotz, for a political podcast based on the conversations about the news that we had during our walks to lunch. About 14 years later, none of them write for Slate anymore, but the Political Gabfest continues each week, including occasional live shows. Recently, the podcast hosts talked backstage about why the format survived.
