A new conversation about the politics and business of hometown Washington. Longtime journalists Cuneyt Dil and Tom Sherwood bring exclusive reporting, sharp analysis and real curiosity to the forces shaping D.C.’s political and business scene. It’s the stories everyone’s talking about — and the ones they aren’t.

Two very special guests join the Dream City Podcast to discuss the week's biggest stories. Cuneyt and Tom are joined by NBC4 reporter Mark Segraves to discuss the Washington Post's exclusive reporting on the behind the scenes relationship between Mayor Muriel Bowser and the Trump administration.
Plus, Tom gives a pulse check on the Mayor Bowser Re-election Needle — whether or not she's leaning toward running for a fourth term.
And Cuneyt talks to Axios D.C. colleague Mimi Montgomery about her story chronicling how "Mar-A-Lago face" is becoming a big trend for plastic surgery in Washington. It's another way the MAGA crowd is changing the city's scene.
