Roskam podcast launch
Peter Roskam
Partner / Federal Policy Practice Leader / Former U.S. Congressman / Host "The Cloakroom with Peter Roskam" podcast
I must admit, my wife and kids told me I should start a podcast when I left Congress.? I liked the idea but could not settle on a format.
Until now.
We’re all products of our own experience and mine was formative.? I’ve been interviewed hundreds of times over the years.? Regardless of how tough the questions were, I appreciated the opportunity to express a complete answer.? I recall one cable tv interview disintegrating into a staccato exchange which did nothing to inform the viewers.? By contrast, the late Gwen Ifill of PBS allowed me to speak in paragraphs. What a concept! ?Her questions were no less probative and her audience learned more.
So that’s the animating spirit behind The Cloakroom with Peter Roskam.? I’m taking you inside Congress, to listen in on my conversations with Members from both sides of the aisle.? If you’ve attended the BakerHostetler Annual Legislative Seminar, you’ll recognize my fireside chat style. https://vimeo.com/946698620?Like you, I’m interested in what they have to say.
My first episode features Congressman Darin LaHood, an Illinois Republican, who finds himself in the center of nearly everything -- the 2025 tax policy Armageddon from his perspective on the Ways & Means Committee; our strategic competition with China from his perspective on the China Select Committee; and a world on fire from his perspective on the Intelligence Committee.
