Podcast interview with C-SPAN founder Brian Lamb explores nexus with National Press Club

It was October 1980 when CSPAN founder Brian Lamb, who was working out of the National Press Club's first broadcast studio, took a call on the air from a viewer in Yankton, S.Dak., marking the start of the first national regularly scheduled call-in show in television broadcasting history.

In this edition of Update-1, Lamb talks about that event and C-SPAN's involvement with the Press Club over the years with former NPC President Mark Hamrick, now the chairman of the Broadcast Committee.
