On today's show:

  • Matt Friedman, reporter for Politico New Jersey and author of New Jersey Playbook, talks about the governor's priorities and other political news from the Garden State and this week's annual State of the State address; 

  • Cecile Richards, co-founder of Supermajority, former president of Planned Parenthood and author of Make Trouble: Standing Up, Speaking Out, and Finding the Courage to Lead (Touchstone, April 2018), talks about a life in activism, politics and more;

  • Adam Davidson, New Yorker staff writer, co-founder of NPR's Planet Money, CEO of the podcast production company Three Uncanny Four, and the author of The Passion Economy: The New Rules for Thriving in the Twenty-First Century (Knopf, 2020) argues the future for employment is rosier than is thought (robots won't take all the jobs).
