On today's show: 

  • Philip Bump, national columnist for The Washington Post and the author of The Aftermath: The Last Days of the Baby Boom and the Future of Power in America (Viking, 2023), talks about the latest news from the campaign trail, where both Harris and Trump are making their closing arguments to voters.

  • Mayor Adams holds one off-topic press conference per week, where reporters can ask him questions on any subject. Elizabeth Kim, Gothamist and WNYC reporter, recaps what he talked about at this week's event.

  • From McDonald's Quarter Pounder burgers to frozen waffles and deli meats, it seems like food recalls are all over the place. Ellen Ioanes, world and weekend reporter at Vox, reports on why this is happening, and what to know as a consumer.

  • Listeners call in to share what their book clubs are reading this month, and Jordan Lauf, producer for All Of It, talks about their book club Get Lit's latest pick and upcoming event.

Transcripts are posted to each segment as they become available.
