Coming up on today's show:
- Andrea Bernstein, WNYC senior editor and co-host of the WNYC/Pro Publica podcast Trump, Inc. and the author of American Oligarchs: The Kushners, the Trumps, and the Marriage of Money and Power (W.W. Norton and Company, 2020), and Ilya Marritz, WNYC senior reporter and co-host of the WNYC/Pro Publica podcast Trump, Inc., talk about the president's pardons so far, including those for Jared Kushner's father and Paul Manafort, plus what legal consequences Donald Trump could face post-presidency.
- Sophia Chang, Gothamist and WNYC reporter, talks about the big changes the city announced for middle school admissions last week, including ending screens for this year, and eliminating district priority for high schools -- and listeners react.
- Arun Venugopal, senior reporter with WNYC's race & justice unit, talks about his family's story, which exemplifies how a generation of educated, well-off Indian immigrants were eased into American society after 1965, and how they fit into the fight for racial justice and immigration policy today.
- Listeners call in to share how scaled down (or not?) their Christmas plans are, as the coronavirus pandemic continues to surge in the holiday season.
Transcripts are posted to the individual segment pages as soon as they are available.
