The Brian Lehrer Show | Feb 13, 2019
Coming to you LIVE from The Greene Space:
- Jonathan Alter, MSNBC analyst, co-host of Sirius XM’s “Alter Family Politics,” and Daily Beast columnist, talks about the new HBO documentary he co-directed and co-produced, called "Breslin and Hamill: Deadline Artists," which celebrates the two legendary New York journalists - plus talks about the national political news of the day.
- Mayor de Blasio commissioned a panel to make recommendations on how to better integrate New York City's highly-segregated public schools. Jessica Gould, WNYC education reporter, Matt Gonzales, director of the school diversity project at New York Appleseed, a group that advocates for integrated schools in New York, and City College student Frantzy Luzincourt, chief of staff of IntegrateNYC and member of the New York City School Diversity Advisory Group, talk about how the group is advising the city to tackle segregation.
- Bernard-Henri Lévy, philosopher and author of The Empire and the Five Kings: America's Abdication and the Fate of the World (Henry Holt and Co. 2019), talks about his new book.
- Mo Rocca, correspondent for CBS Sunday Morning, and a panelist on NPR’s Wait Wait Don't Tell Me, talks about his new podcast "Mobituaries," in which he explores the history of people (and things) who might have disappeared from view, but continue to intrigue him, including entertainers like Vaughn Meader to …the station wagon.
