Andrea Seabrook is the host and founder of DecodeDC, a podcast and public radio show that eschews conventional Washington news coverage and instead gives its listeners a fresh, fiercely independent look at politics and governance. After more than a decade as a host and correspondent for NPR, Seabrook struck out on her own in August of 2012. Using the popular crowdfunding platform Kickstarter, Seabrook raised more than $100,000 in seed funds to start DecodeDC.
