I spent ten days in the states in and around the US presidential election for a special edition of the podcast. In Washington DC I caught up with Norman Houston, Director of the Northern Ireland Bureau, which is part of the Office of the First Minister and Deputy First Minister, and works to represent Northern Ireland in the US. I capture the atmosphere on Election Day and speak to a number of US citizens including Derek Methu from the Washington Post on their views of the newly elected President, Barack Obama.
