30 Issues: Drawing District Lines; Truth or Lie Quiz: Gerrymandering; The Costs of Climate Migration; Dr. Becky on Parenting; #BLTrees: A Year
The Brian Lehrer Show | Oct 20, 2022
Coming up on today's show:
- For today's issue, Michael Li, senior counsel for the Brennan Center’s Democracy Program, talks about the process of redrawing district lines after the census every 10 years and how that process can favor parties and incumbency, or voters.
- All week, the Brian Lehrer Show will quiz listeners on whether something is true or whether it's a lie. Up first, a quiz on drawing district lines, plus fun with geography.
- Nicolas Haque, senior correspondent for Al Jazeera English and a winner of the Covering Climate Now journalism award, talks about the economic - but also cultural - costs of climate migration.
- Becky Kennedy, clinical psychologist and author of Good Inside: A Guide to Becoming the Parent You Want to Be (Harper Wave, 2022), offers her guidance on raising kids, including help for parents trying to break harmful cycles that included how they were raised.
- As we continue the wrap-up of #BLTrees with Marielle Anzelone, urban botanist and ecologist and the founder of NYC Wildflower Week, we are joined by Amy Pearl, audio and video producer at WNYC, to talk about memorial trees.
Transcripts are posted to each segment as soon as they are available.
