  • Roundup: Supreme Court Abortion Ruling, Robert F. Kennedy

    Roundup: Supreme Court Abortion Ruling, Robert F. Kennedy
    Jun 28 2024
    The Supreme Court largely punted on abortion access and curtailed a law the Department of Justice has been using to prosecute accused Jan. 6 insurrectionists. And NPR spoke with independent candidate for president Robert F. Kennedy Jr. about why he is running a race he almost certainly cannot win.

    This episode: voting correspondent Ashley Lopez, national justice correspondent Carrie Johnson, reproductive rights and abortion correspondent Elissa Nadworny, and All Things Considered host Scott Detrow.

    The podcast is produced by Casey Morell and Kelli Wessinger. Our intern is Bria Suggs. Our editor is Eric McDaniel. Our executive producer is Muthoni Muturi.

  • Biden Struggled, Trump Often Lied, CNN Didn't Fact-Check

    Biden Struggled, Trump Often Lied, CNN Didn't Fact-Check
    Jun 28 2024
    President Biden fumbled in the CNN Presidential Debate, offering often rambling answers in a hoarse and quiet voice. Donald Trump, who also rambled, painted a characteristically dark vision of the country and repeatedly lied about his and Biden's records — which went largely unchallenged by CNN's moderators.

    This episode: voting correspondent Ashley Lopez, campaign reporter Stephen Fowler, and senior national political correspondent Mara Liasson.

    The podcast is produced by Casey Morell and Kelli Wessinger. Our intern is Bria Suggs. Our editor is Eric McDaniel. Our executive producer is Muthoni Muturi.

  • Ahead of Presidential Debate, Voters Head To The Pools

    Ahead of Presidential Debate, Voters Head To The Pools
    Jun 26 2024
    Many folks have tuned out the news, unenthused about the rematch between historical unpopular presidential candidates. Ahead of Thursday's debate in Georgia, when some folks could be engaging with the campaign for the first time, WABE's Sam Gringlas sought out checked-out voters at a swimming pool outside of Atlanta.

    NOTE: In an earlier version of this podcast, a recording of Deanna McKay was played instead of a recording of Kerry Webster. The audio has been updated to include the correct recording.

    This episode: voting correspondent Ashley Lopez, White House correspondent Asma Khalid, and WABE reporter Sam Gringlas.

    The podcast is produced by Jeongyoon Han, Casey Morell and Kelli Wessinger. Our intern is Bria Suggs. Our editor is Eric McDaniel. Our executive producer is Muthoni Muturi.
