VP Debate Recap; 30 Issues: Religious Freedom and LGBTQ Rights; Local COVID-19 - a podcast by WNYC

On today's show:

Hear callers respond to the vice-presidential candidates' debate between current Vice President Mike Pence and Senator Kamala Harris, plus analysis -- first from Tarini Parti, politics reporter at The Wall Street Journal, and then from Christopher Cadelago, national political reporter for Politico.
Emma Green, staff writer at ​The Atlantic covering politics, policy, and religion, explains why LGBTQ rights and religious freedom are often in conflict, and whether they can peacefully co-exist.
The Governor's plan to partially shut down parts of Brooklyn and Queens amid several localized outbreaks has left residents of the boroughs with some confusion. Jake Dobkin, co-founder of Gothamist where he's been the de facto numbers-cruncher-in-chief for all things COVID-19, and WNYC reporter Jessica Gould clarify what the plan means for New Yorkers, and particularly what it means for kids who live or attend school in the designated shutdown zone.

 

Available transcripts are posted to the individual segment pages.
