Coming up on today's show:

  • Kyle Cheney, Congress reporter for POLITICO, discusses the latest in national news.
  • Jane Eisner, editor of the national Jewish news organization, The Forward, talks about the anti-Semitic graffiti left in the office of a professor at Columbia’s Teachers College, and how communities respond to acts of hat.
  • After the airing of the annual Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, Vanessa Friedman, fashion director and chief fashion critic for The New York Times, talks about how the lingerie brand’s lingering popularity represents a dissonance between the "body positivity movement" and what society actually expects of women.
