Tech Layoffs; Post-Boomer America; The Clinton & Giuliani Years: Electing Rudy; Have You Done That Tiny, Annoying Task?

The Brian Lehrer Show | Jan 24, 2023

Coming up on today's show: 

  • Tripp Mickle, tech reporter for The New York Times, covers the latest round of layoffs in the tech sector and how the different generations are reacting to the news.

  • Philip Bump, national columnist for The Washington Post and the author of The Aftermath: The Last Days of the Baby Boom and the Future of Power in America (Viking, 2023), talks about his new book that digs into the data on the baby boom generation and what to expect as its influence wanes.

  • 1993 saw the inauguration of a Democratic U.S. president and a Republican mayor of New York. In this series, we explore the elections and policies of Pres. Clinton and Mayor Giuliani and their impact on the world in 2023. Today, Andrew Kirtzman, political consultant and the author of Giuliani: The Rise and Tragic Fall of America's Mayor (Simon & Schuster, 2022), and Errol Louis, political anchor of Spectrum NY1 News, host of Inside City Hall, New York Magazine columnist and host of the podcast "You Decide", talk about the circumstances leading to Mayor Giuliani's election.

  • Listeners call in to share what steady progress they've made on their (tiny) resolutions so far. What small, annoying tasks did you keep putting off last year and how did you finally accomplish them? 

Transcripts are posted to each segment as they become available.
