On today’s show: 

    Hamas is still holding an estimated 200+ people hostage. Graeme Wood, staff writer at The Atlantic and the author of The Way of the Strangers: Encounters With the Islamic State (Random House, 2016), talks about the group’s plan for the hostages, after he obtained an apparently authentic Hamas document that outlines the group’s plan.

    New York City’s Taxi and Limousine Commission will no longer limit the number of new licenses for for-hire vehicles on the road, but there’s one important caveat: new cars must be electric or wheelchair accessible. Evan Simko-Bednarski, transit reporter at the New York Daily News, unpacks the new rule and its implications as congestion pricing looms.

    Aziz Huq, professor of law at the University of Chicago Law School, explains what a gag order is, and discusses the gag orders different judges have placed former President Trump under as he faces multiple trials.

    Listeners call in to share how they plan to pass time on yet another rainy weekend.

Transcripts are posted to each segment as they become available.
