Hosted by Michael Pope, The Virginia Press Room features a rotating cast of reporters from the Virginia press corps, including VPM News reporters.

Virginia is a big state with a lot of news to keep track of. Are you looking for coverage of the latest happenings coming out of the Virginia State Capitol? Maybe you’d like to learn more about how certain decisions were made with regard to a piece of legislation. Perhaps you’d just like to hear more about the most significant headlines making waves throughout the Commonwealth. A new podcast from VPM and the Virginia Public Access Project (VPAP) is providing Virginians with a behind-the-scenes look at local government.

The Virginia Press Room will bring listeners the latest insights and analysis on Virginia’s most important stories – directly from the journalists covering them. The 30-minute episodes will feature a rotating cast of reporters from the Virginia press corps, including VPM News reporters, offering a behind-the-scenes look at state politics, policy and the issues shaping communities across the Commonwealth. The Virginia Press Room is powered by VaNews, VPAP’s popular daily aggregation of Virginia’s top political headlines, and award-winning newsroom and podcast producer, VPM.

Hosted by Michael Pope, former host of Pod Virginia, The Virginia Press Room will deliver the week’s political news from the people who know it best, helping listeners stay informed about what’s happening in their state, from the halls of the Capitol to their local neighborhoods.

The Virginia Press Room premieres Jan. 6 at 4:30 a.m. and additional new episodes will premiere Mondays at 4:30 a.m. Listen to the latest episodes at vpm.org/vapressroom, VaNews or wherever you get your podcasts. Subscribe to VaNews at vpap.org to get episodes delivered straight to your inbox.
