In 2025, you watched and listened to a lot of C-SPAN.
Can you name your favorite moments from the past year?
Here's one person who can:
Cate Martel.

You know Cate Martel as a longtime reporter for The Hill and creator of The Hill's 12:30 Report newsletter.



C-SPAN's podcast "Extreme Mortman" asked Cate Martel for her favorite C-SPAN moments in 2025.



Here’s one which made her list:



"Look, now there is no guarantee that the show is always good or that it’ll go off without a hitch or it doesn’t have its, uh, hecklers. Yeah. But the show must go on. And, if you’re with your people, and you won’t have to do it alone. Because life is not a solo act. No, it’s not. It’s a big, messy, delightful ensemble piece, especially when you’re with your people."





That was Kermit the Frog giving the 2025 commencement address at the University of Maryland.



Which other moments made Cate Martel's best-of 2025-on-C-SPAN list?



Who wore hard hats and other protective gear on C-SPAN in 2025 – much to Cate Martel's considerable amusement?
