Public Radio Smack Talk: New York vs. Kansas City

The Brian Lehrer Show | Oct 27, 2015

It's on - the Mets will face off against the Kansas City Royals tonight in Game 1 of the World Series.

In a special live co-broadcast with KCUR 89.3 Kansas City, Gina Kaufmann, host of "Central Standard" on KCUR, shares our airwaves to talk about the Mets-Royals matchup and what's at stake for both teams. And after the game, the losing host agrees to sport the opposing station's tote bag for a whole month!
