Coming up on today's show:

  • Mayor Bill de Blasio takes your calls on a range of current policy issues, including affordable housing, homelessness, minimum wage, paid family sick leave and more.
  • A professor of environmental history explains what she calls "mythic histories" in Oregon, where armed militiamen have occupied a federal wildlife refuge to protest rancher prosecution.
  • Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams tells us what happened at President Obama's live town hall on guns last night (he was there!).
  • A neuroanthropologist talks about why home is where the heart AND the brain are, according to years of evolution.
