The Real Gatekeepers
Description: There is one thing that most political shows get right--showcasing the importance and necessity of the 'Gatekeeper'. From Cyrus Beene on Scandal to Doug Stamper on House of Cards there is no one more important than your number one confidant. Now, real life staff aren't meeting in dark parking garages to trade manila envelopes; but they are managing pressure cooker situations, complicated personalities and more. On this episode we go behind the curtain and talk to the real power players that make Poliwood tick--the Gatekeepers. Guests: Former Senior White House and Capitol Hill staffers Nigel Stephens and Nicole Issac.
