Dark Money; Truth or Lie Quiz; Radiolab's Terrestrials; NYC as a Refuge; Gather Around With Priya Parker
The Brian Lehrer Show | Oct 27, 2022
Coming up on today's show:
- Today in our '30 Issues in 30 Days' series, Adam Winkler, UCLA professor of law and author of We the Corporations (Liveright, 2018) and Gunfight: The Battle Over the Right to Bear Arms in America (W. W. Norton & Company, 2011) delves into the impact of so-called "dark money" on our democracy.
- All week, the Brian Lehrer Show will quiz listeners on whether something is true or whether it's a lie. Up today, a quiz on Citizens United, "dark money," corporations and money in politics.
- Lulu Miller, host of Terrestrials and co-host of WNYC's Radiolab, talks about Terrestrials, Radiolab's new podcast for kids, which - as the website puts it - "explores the strangeness that exists right here on Earth."
- Many people come to New York City as a form of escape, whether it's escaping small town life, a conservative family, or escaping a dictatorship abroad. Lilly Tuttle, curator at the Museum of the City of New York, joins the show to discuss NYC's history as a place of refuge, and listeners call in to describe why they sought refuge in New York City.
- All this week, the Brian Lehrer Show will end with a conversation on how we gather with Priya Parker, author of The Art of Gathering: How We Meet and Why It Matters (Riverhead Books, 2018). Many of us are dreading returning to the office, but working with our teams in person has its advantages. Today we head back to work in person and reconnect with our colleagues after a long time apart.
Transcripts are posted to each segment as soon as they are available.
