Hey there, it's Martine.
So before we start today's show,
I want to share some news with you about a couple things that are going on with me.
A short term assignment coming up and then a arguably much longer term assignment.
So first,
I'm going to be spending the next few months reporting on the White House team here at the Post,
covering the new Trump administration,
holding President Donald Trump and his administration accountable.
And that is what I'm gonna be doing this spring, which I'm very excited about.
And then at the beginning of the summer, I'm becoming a parent,
and I'm gonna be going on parental leave for the months after that.
So all of this together means that I won't be hosting the show for the next few months,
basically through near the end of the year.
But luckily,
folks who listen to Post reports are going to be in wonderful hands
because my fabulous friend Colby Itkowicz will be filling in as host.
First part of me stepping away.
Colby is wonderful.
She's a democracy reporter here at the Post in addition to having covered so many other things during her time here.
And she has so many ideas and interesting questions, and you will love hearing more from her.
