On today's show:
- Former president Donald Trump challenged the 2020 election results in court and lost. Marc Elias, founder of Democracy Docket and partner at Elias Law Group, talks about his experience in overturning Trump's challenge in court, and what he anticipates may be the battle ahead for the 2024 election should Trump deny a potential loss.
- As the presidential candidates dedicate the majority of their time to courting swing state voters, it appears that the votes of some Americans are more consequential than others. Latif Nasser, co-host of Radiolab from WNYC, previews their latest episode, "The Unpopular Vote," which covers the history of the electoral college and the politician who dedicated his career to the ideal of "one person, one vote."
- "Know Your City" was a quiz program that questioned schoolchildren, and aired on WNYC in the 1950s, and was hosted by the Manhattan borough historian of the time. Former Manhattan borough historian Michael Miscione quizzes listeners with his updated "Know Your City" questions for today.
- In this membership-drive mini-series, Tommy Silk, a licensed New York sightseeing guide, @LandmarksofNY on Instagram, and the author of Hidden Landmarks of New York: A Tour of the City's Most Overlooked Buildings (Black Dog & Leventhal, 2024), joins us to talk about some of the lesser-known historically significant buildings of NYC. Today, historical buildings that are "missing" from history.
