The Public Records Officer Podcast

"The people... do not yield their sovereignty to the agencies that serve them." - The Washington State Public Records Act

The Public Records Officer Podcast (The PROP) focuses on issues involving government transparency. Hosted by perhaps the most ironically named open government advocate out there, Jamie Nixon, The PROP blends nerd level civic grit, mostly correct legal insight, and top shelf journalistic storytelling to confront the quiet erosion of transparency. Season One uncovers how Washington State agencies used Microsoft Teams to auto-delete public records every seven days in what may be the largest scale violation of the retention laws in Washington's history. The show will also cover breaking stories related government transparency.
