Washington, DC: The City Behind the Capital | English Listening Practice

Why is Washington, DC the capital of the United States? In this episode, we explore the political compromise that created the capital, Pierre L'Enfant's ambitious plan for the city, and the neighborhoods, people, and culture that make Washington much more than a center of government. We'll also look at one of the city's biggest challenges today: why Washington residents still lack voting representation in Congress and have limited control over their own government.Website: https://www.sharing-english.com/podcastMusic: "Cherish" by Sascha Ende https://ende.app/en/song/498-cherish
