Inside Olympia is a weekly Washington State public affairs TV show on the TVW network that began airing in 1998.[1] The show features in-depth, one-on-one interviews and panel discussions with major figures in Washington State government and public affairs, including state governors, executive cabinet-level agency leaders, state legislators, and labor union leaders.[2] The show is considered a major component of the services that have earned TVW the nickname "Washington state’s own C-SPAN."[3][4]
Inside Olympia has been hosted by Northwest News Network reporter Austin Jenkins since 2008.[1][2][5] From 2003 to 2008, the show was hosted by capitol reporter and later Washington State Public Disclosure Commission chair David Ammons, who took the place of TVW co-founder and later Lieutenant Governor of Washington Denny Heck.[6] The first host was Barry Mitzman, formerly of KCTS-TV.[7]
