Midterm Reactions, Bob Dylan & a New Musical, Online Hate

All Of It with Alison Stewart | Nov 6, 2018

Kai Wright, editor and host of WNYC’s Narrative Unit and a columnist for The Nation magazine, Nancy Solomon, managing editor of New Jersey Public Radio, and Lawrence Levy, the executive dean at the National Center for Suburban Studies at Hofstra University, join us to discuss their reactions to the midterm elections.

Kimber Sprawl, Jeannette Bayardelle, and Todd Almond join us (at 22:55) to discuss starring in “Girl from the North Country,” now playing through December 23 at the Public Theater.

Kara Swisher joins us (at 39:40) to discuss her reactions to the midterms and discuss her New York Times column, "I Thought the Web Would Stop Hate, Not Spread It," about why hate speech and radicalism spreads so much faster online than truth.
