It is the most famous “house” in the world. Located in Washington, it is at the heart of the history of the United States and the world. It has seen dozens of presidents pass through and it has a special character for many. This White House that we see in the movies is actually not as big as we think.
It’s also a much more open place than you think. During the transfer of power, the executives are removed and for a few hours, there are no people inside, except the Secret Service. What happens internally when a new president is elected? Who are the people who keep the White House alive on a daily basis? What are the secrets of this place?
As America prepares to change administrations, in this Letter from America, I take you behind the scenes of the White House, with Jérome Cartillier, former AFP Washington correspondent and author of the comic strip White House: Behind the scenes with Obama, Trump and Biden (Delcourt).
>> A letter from America, a series of exceptional episodes to be found every Tuesday. A sound postcard to help us better understand this America today, both so familiar and sometimes totally disconcerting. An RTL Originals podcast.
