Former Mayor de Blasio Shares Advice for Democrats; The Election in The Philippines; School Diversity in Queens; Remembering the iPod

The Brian Lehrer Show | May 13, 2022

Coming up on today's show: 

  • Bill de Blasio, former mayor of New York City, draws from his experience and offers advice to President Biden and the Democratic Party on messaging.

  • Adrian De Leon, assistant professor of American Studies & Ethnicity at the University of Southern California, talks about the election in the Philippines of Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. and disinformation in the election.

  • Queens is one of the most diverse places on earth. But like a lot of New York City, it's also segregated. Mark Winston Griffith, executive editor of Brooklyn Deep and co-host of the podcast School Colors, now on NPR's Code Switch, and his School Colors co-host Max Freedman, talk about their reporting into the school diversity plan in district 28 in Queens that proved to be hugely controversial.

Transcripts are posted to each segment as soon as they are available.
