Coming up on today's show:
- Natasha Singer, New York Times technology reporter in the Business section, talks about the EU’s new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and why it’s led to all those privacy-policy emails, plus some of the other implications of the new rules.
- Julie Kohler, senior vice president for the Democracy Alliance, a progressive donor group, and contributor to The Nation, and Felicia Wong, president and CEO of the Roosevelt Institute, warn that while women are getting involved in campaigns in large numbers, translating that to winning office could take more than enthusiasm.
- Eleanor Clift, columnist for The Daily Beast, and Ann Powers, NPR Music critic and correspondent and author of Good Booty: Love and Sex, Black and White, Body and Soul in American Music (Harper Collins, 2017), talk about the music and media of 1988.
- Mike Pesca, host of Slate's The Gist, talks about his new book, Upon Further Review: The Greatest What-Ifs in Sports History (Twelve, 2018), which dives deep into the world of sports to imagine how the world might have been different if a given player, game, or moment just went the other way.
