Debate Post-Mortem With Sen. Bernie Sanders; Democratic Presidential Candidate Larry Lessig; Author and Poet S. Pearl Sharp
On this week's podcast:
Many pundits declared Hillary Clinton the winner of the recent Democratic presidential debate, but Sen. Bernie Sanders took full advantage of his first widespread appearance before the American people. Sanders joins us to discuss his debate performance and his plans for the campaign going forward.
We hear from another – but much less known – Democratic presidential candidate: Harvard Law Prof. Larry Lessig, who announced his candidacy on Labor Day and pledged to focus his campaign solely on reforming the campaign finance and electoral systems. Lessig discusses his goals and his efforts to gain recognition.
S. Pearl Sharp is a Renaissance woman in every sense of the description: she’s an influential poet, actress, commentator, award-winning documentarian, and author. Sharp joins to discuss her latest project, “The Evening News: Essays and Commentaries from NPR and Other Clouds,” a collection of 40 essays and commentaries broadcast on public radio and other media.
