Update-1: Veteran correspondent discusses Afghanistan, Poland, VOA

David Ensor spent three decades as a news correspondent for NPR, ABC and CNN then turned to public service with a year at the U.S. Embassy in Afghanistan and then four years as director of the Voice of America.

Among his overseas posts was that of ABC News Bureau Chief in Warsaw when a Polish cleric became pope and helped his native land turn away from Communism. On the latest edition of Update-1, the National Press Club podcast, Ensor explores the intersection of history with his beat and analyzes how follow-on developments are making news today -- the rightward turn of the current Polish government, the end of America's "forever war" in Afghanistan and the efforts of the Trump administration to refashion the Voice of America. He spoke with Club Broadcast Podcast Team member Irv Chapman.
