About the Show

Capitol Access is a political talk-show based out of Concord, New Hampshire. Hosted by co-producers, Lydia Harman and Denis Goddard, the set offers a variety of "political ideals" which often benefits the discussions. Filmed from Concord TV at Concord High School, the show has become syndicated across the nation and viewership ranges from Australia to Russia, Brazil and most of Western Europe.

Before Capitol Access became a real-life public access production, the show started off with a few primarily simple ideas. While in the Concord TV lobby signing contracts and whatnot, Denis and Lydia stumbled across Rob Barton and Mike Richos, two high-school filmmakers. At that point, the first words out of Lydia's mouth were "Hey guys, you wanna be part of the crew for the coolest show ever!?"

Curiously, Rob and Mike accepted the request and while in a pre-production meeting in late August of 2007, decided to recruit Alex Hall to the crew to take control as the Capitol Access audio coordinator.

From their pilot episode, the Capitol Access crew and show alike have developed into a concrete politically-based show that maintains a steadily rising viewership.

Capitol Access started off as a brainchild between Denis and Lydia, then developed into a Concord TV production, and now has sprung into the grids of multiple public stations across the state. Capitol Access audio podcasts are available at nhcaptv.com/podcast.
