1980 onChicago Public Radio as "Inside Politics". It pioneered a feisty style of confrontationalpolitical discussion that has become a staple on cable TV. However, the program has mellowed over the years and now offers a more reflective style of political discussion.The program featues three guests each week from across the political spectrum as well as listener phone participation. DuMont has strong conservative credentials but is a moderate in today's political talk circles. The program frequently originates from an affiliate location to underscore the program's prime mission of "taking America's political pulse from border-to-border and coast-to-coast."
