After a series of surprises and some legislative drama, George Washington University Hospital threatened to remove itself from negotiations to operate a new hospital in Ward 8. Loose Lips reporter Ryals explains why.

Host Will Warren also talks about the newly named chancellor of DC Public Schools, and our guide to shopping local this holiday season.
