The Brian Lehrer Show Live
Brian Lehrer broadcasting live from The Greene Space
WNYC’s Brian Lehrer leads the conversation about what matters most now in local and national politics, our own communities and our lives.
Join us for a live broadcast of his Peabody Award-winning radio show in which Brian will take questions from callers and the audience at The Greene Space.
Guests include:
Ben Smith, editor-in-chief of BuzzFeed, talks about the latest national political news.
Katie Couric, journalist, podcaster and documentary filmmaker, discusses her new National Geographic series “America Inside Out,” which looks at gender inequities across industries, outrage and so-called “PC culture” on college campuses, and other big cultural, political and social issues of today
Jeff Weaver, Bernie Sanders campaign manager, now senior political adviser to the senator and author of How Bernie Won: Inside the Revolution That’s Taking Back Our Country–and Where We Go from Here (Thomas Dunne Books, 2018), makes the case that Sanders voters will control the Democratic Party in 2020.
Peniel Joseph, founding director of the Center for the Study of Race and Democracy and professor of History at the University of Texas-Austin, discusses the progress and backlash associated with the Civil Rights movement in 1968 and how those factors contributed to the election of President Richard Nixon. Plus: Raymond Brown, partner at the Greenbaum, Rowe, Smith & Davis law firm and student leader of the Student Afro-American Society protests at Columbia University in 1968, and Nancy Biberman, founder and former president of WHEDco, Women’s Housing and Economic Development Corporation in the Bronx, talk about their roles in the Columbia protests.
