Who Will Replace Kevin McCarthy?; Co-Housing Plan for Empty Office Buildings; The Nobel Peace Prize Goes To…; The Poetry in Reopening

Coming up on today’s show:

Since a faction of far-right Republicans ousted Kevin McCarthy as speaker, Luke Broadwater, congressional reporter for The New York Times, talks about the candidates vying to replace him, and what it all means for the next potential government shutdown, and other House business.
Grace Rauh, executive director of the think tank 5Boro Institute, and Howard Slatkin, executive director at Citizens Housing and Planning Council, talk about the new report from 5Boro for “flexible co-housing” conversions from office buildings.
Mark Leon Goldberg, editor-in-chief and publisher of UN Dispatch and host of the podcast “Global Dispatches,” talks about this year’s recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize.
Writer and designer, Warren Lehrer, and poet Adeena Karasick, co-authors of Ouvert Oeuvre: Openings (Lavender Ink Press, 2023), talk about their artistic collaboration that evokes — through poetry and design — the re-opening of the world after COVID-19 shut it down.
