Coming up on today's show:
- On today's edition of '30 Issues In 30 Days,' David Daley, author of the national best-seller Ratf**ked: Why Your Vote Doesn't Count (Liveright 2016) as well as Unrigged: How Americans Are Battling Back to Save Democracy (Liveright 2020) and senior fellow at FairVote, joins to discuss the undemocratic nature of the United States Senate and offers solutions to make it more representative of all Americans.

- Brigid Bergin, WNYC's senior political correspondent and host of The People's Guide to Power, talks about a GOP lawsuit over absentee ballot counting reforms and a Manhattan GOP election commissioner's questioning of mailings with information sent to all registered voters.
- Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and the Chief Medical Advisor to the President, discusses the current status of the COVID-19 pandemic, what he's learned from it and reflect back on his decades-long career in public health.
- Marielle Anzelone, urban botanist and ecologist and the founder of NYC Wildflower Week, shares her final thoughts on this year of following the trees around us and she and Brian read some of the haikus submitted by listeners.
