Today on the show:

  • WNYC’s election series “America, Are We Ready?” looks at the presidential candidates’ different approaches to housing costs. Kimberly Adams, senior Washington correspondent for Marketplace and the co-host of the Marketplace podcast, “Make Me Smart", and Jerusalem Demsas, Atlantic staff writer focusing on housing policy, discuss the policies proposed by Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, and listeners tell us where they stand.

  • Julio Vaqueiro, Noticias Telemundo anchor, and Daniel Alarcón, editorial director of the podcast series and executive producer at Radio Ambulante Studios, talk about their new podcast series: El Péndulo. The show looks at the issues that are important to Latino voters, especially in swing states, and how voters there see the presidential candidates.

  • Is there a way to celebrate Italian American heritage without Columbus? Listeners weigh in.

Transcripts are posted to each segment as they become available.
