Domecast, The News & Observer’s weekly podcast on government and politics in North Carolina, has its milk and bread and is ready for what’s expected to be the cold and snowy weekend of Jan. 7-8.

The Cooper administration started with plenty of news. There were new faces for the Cabinet, a major policy announcement, courtroom proceedings and an impending winter storm that sent inauguration planners scrambling.

We talk about Gov. Roy Cooper’s first week, and as always we choose a Headliner of the Week.

Jordan Schrader of The News & Observer hosts with Colin Campbell, Craig Jarvis, Lynn Bonner and Will Doran.
