Migrant Stories; South Carolina Democratic Primary; Oscar Docs: Bobi Wine; Your Cross-Generational Music Recs
The Brian Lehrer Show | Feb 5, 2024
Coming up on today's show:
- Jonathan Blitzer, New Yorker staff writer and the author of Everyone Who Is Gone Is Here: The United States, Central America, and the Making of a Crisis (Penguin Press, 2024), tells the larger story of the crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border through the stories of individuals making the journey from Central America.
- Elena Schneider, national political reporter at Politico, shares insight and analysis of the results from the weekend's Democratic primary in South Carolina.
- This month we hear from the makers of the 5 films nominated for the Academy Award for best feature documentary. Today, Bobi Wine, Ugandan politician, singer and actor, and Moses Bwayo, director, talk about the film and Wine's challenge to Uganda's longtime president Gen. Yoweri Museveni.
- Last night at the Grammys there was some multigenerational synergy as an 80-year-old Joni Mitchell performed with 40-something Brandi Carlile, and Tracy Chapman sang her hit song "Fast Car" with Luke Combs, the country artist who had a hit with his cover of it last year. Listeners call in to share their multigenerational music crossover tastes -- what their 20- and 30-something kids have turned them on to, and what music the "kids" in their 20s and 30s have gotten their parents into.
Transcripts are posted to each segment as they become available.
