    In political parlance, the “odd year” is the year in which there is no national election; that is: any odd-numbered year. Odd can also refer to something that is unusual or unpredictable. Like an interview with a writer or actor or athlete that highlights a topic or trend that isn’t normally associated with traditional political discourse. The Odd Years is designed for everyone who is multidimensional. Yes, it’s going to focus on politics (because this is brought to you by the Cook Political braintrust and host, Amy Walter); but, ultimately, The Odd Years will expand the definition of a ‘political program.’ We think you can learn stuff — and have fun at the same time. Let’s do this, shall we? #OddPod
