Episode 79: Pour One Out for Elmo (with Joy Reid)

Another Round | Jan 25, 2017

Inauguration. The Women's March. The first few days of Trump's presidency. It's...a lot. Join us as we reflect wistfully on Obama's presidency, then chat with Joy Reid -- host of the MSNBC political talk show "AM Joy" and co-editor of the new book We Are the Change We Seek: The Speeches of Barack Obama -- about media literacy in the age of "alternative facts," her favorite "Fresh Prince" episode, and of course, punching nazis. Plus, the musical stylings of our friend, Tunde Olaniran!
