Wednesday Morning Local Politics; The Immunocompromised Are Exhausted; Supreme Court Reform; Broadway Goes Dark Again

The Brian Lehrer Show | Jan 19, 2022

Coming up on today's show:

  • Christina Greer, political science professor at Fordham University, host of the podcast FAQNYC, and author of Black Ethnics (Oxford University Press, 2013), talks about the latest city political news.
  • Dorry Segev, MD, PhD, a professor of surgery and epidemiology and associate vice chair of surgery at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and Bloomberg School of Public Health, talks about his research into, and the COVID-19 treatments available for, immunocompromised patients.
  • Laurence Tribe, university professor and professor of constitutional law emeritus at Harvard Law School, talks about the Supreme Court and U.S. democracy, previewing his participation in the 92nd St. Y's conference on Thursday.
  • As more Broadway shows temporarily shutter or end their runs completely following widespread cancellations in December's omicron surge, listeners working in the theater industry call in to share their experiences in this stage of the pandemic.

Transcripts are posted to segments as soon as they are available.
