Shadow Politics

Shadow Politics with U.S. Senator Michael D. Brown
U.S. Senator Michael D. Brown

Shadow Politics is a grass roots talk show giving a voice to the voiceless. For more than 200 years the people of the Nation's Capital have ironically been excluded from the national political conversation. With no voting member of either house of Congress, Washingtonians have lacked the representation they need to be equal and to have their voices heard. Shadow Politics will provide a platform for them, as well as the millions of others nationwide who feel politically disenfranchised and disconnected, to be included in a national dialog.

We need to start a new conversation in America, one that is more inclusive and diverse and one that will lead our great nation forward to meet the challenges of the 21st century. At Shadow Politics, we hope to get this conversation started by bringing Americans together to talk about issues important to them. We look forward to having you be part of the discussion so call in and join the conversation. America is calling and we're listening… Shadow Politics is about America hearing what you have to say. It's your chance to talk to an elected official who has spent more than 30 years in Washington politics. We believe that if we start a dialog and others add their voices we will create a chorus. Even if those other politicians in Washington don't hear you — Senator Brown will. He's on a mission to listen to what America has to say and use it to start a productive dialog to make our democracy stronger and more inclusive. If we are all part of the solution we can solve any problem.

Guest Biography

Brandon Skall and Jeff Hancock met while DJ’ing. Both avid music fans, frequent bar goers, and enthusiastic men-about-town, the two D.C. residents also were acutely aware of the empty tap handle or store shelf where a local beer ought to be found in their city. In 2009, they combined their years of experience in both brewing and beverage distribution to found the DC Brau Brewing Company. Due to his extensive experience in restaurant management and the beverage industry, including posts with Passion Foods Restaurants, The Henry Wine Group and Frederick Wildman & Sons, Brandon took the reins as CEO to handle the sales and business side of the brewery. 

The partners opened DC Brau on Tax Day in northeast Washington, DC, with the intention of brewing beers within the city limits, available citywide, for the beer nerds and recreational beer drinkers alike to call their own. Over the past 4 years, DC Brau has brewed nearly 100 different beers under their label or in collaboration with restaurant, bar and brewery partners – all of which represent a delicious and uniquely American blend of North American and European techniques and ingredients. At the core of its portfolio, DC Brau offers three signature brews available year-round, including The Public (Pale Ale), The Corruption (IPA), and The Citizen (Belgian style Ale), with seasonal and special brews released on a regular basis, like the award-winning, critically-acclaimed On The Wings of Armageddon (Imperial IPA) and its Penn Quarter Porter.
