Culture Wars at School; New Yorker Festival; 'Lady Justice'; Autumnal Self-Reflection

Coming up on today's show:

• Nancy Solomon, WNYC reporter and editor, host of the Ask Governor Murphy monthly call-in show and the podcast Dead End: A New Jersey Political Murder Mystery, talks about the issues around acknowledging LGBTQ students and families in school and how that is showing up in the Congressional election in New Jersey's 7th district.

• David Remnick, editor of The New Yorker and the host of The New Yorker Radio Hour, talks about this year's New Yorker Festival, plus the anti-war protests in Russia and more.
  
  
• As the new Supreme Court term gets underway, Dahlia Lithwick, senior legal correspondent at Slate, host of their podcast Amicus, and the author of Lady Justice: Women, the Law, and the Battle to Save America (Penguin Press, 2022), talks about her new book on the women who fought back on the Trump administration's policies -- and on the major cases before the Court between now and next June.
  
  
• Rosh Hashanah is the Jewish New Year and Yom Kippur, which begins at sundown on Tuesday, October 4th, is the Jewish Day of Atonement. In honor of this holiday and the changing of the seasons, listeners of all faiths call in to reflect and talk about what they hope to shed or cast off — like fall leaves — this autumn.
