Host Kurt Andersen and special guest contemporary artist Barbara Kruger look at the intersections of art and politics — from novelists like Joe Klein who use politics as their raw material to the ways that politicians use art to make their point. We’ll also take a look at why songs stick in your head and the lessons to be learned from old record album covers.
