On today's show:

  • Tom Nichols, staff writer at The Atlantic and an author of the Atlantic Daily newsletter, talks about his cover story in the November Atlantic, "The Moment of Truth," explaining why he sees another Trump presidency as a fundamental challenge to norms that stretch back to George Washington.

  • Mayor Adams holds one off-topic press conference per week, where reporters can ask him questions on any subject. Elizabeth Kim, Gothamist and WNYC reporter, recaps what he talked about at this week's event.
  • As our centennial series continues, Darryl Pinckney, a long time contributor to The New York Review of Books and the author of Blackballed: The Black Vote and US Democracy (New York Review Books, 2015, 2020) and other books, examines the history of Black voting, from ballot access to party affiliations.
Transcripts are posted to each segment as they become available.
