The Hard Shoulder is in the US all week thanks to Ireland Gateway to Europe, and for the next few days the show is broadcasting in Washington D.C. Specifically, in the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center, which is the largest structure (3.1 million square feet) in Washington, D.C.

It’s the first and only federal building dedicated to both government and private use.

Joining Shane to discuss its history is Maureen Pace, President of World Trade Centre Dublin and Vice President of the Drew Company and John P.Drew, President of the Drew Company - an innovative, Boston-based real estate management and development company and operator of this building.
