TweetEpisode Details
Original tape date: June 24, 2026. First aired: June 25, 2026.Host Sarah Maslin-Nir talks with City Hall reporter Sally Goldenberg about seismic Democratic primary results in New York City, where multiple incumbents lost to candidates backed by Mayor Zoran Mamdani, raising big questions about the future of the Democratic establishment, New York’s relationship to Israel, and Governor Kathy Hochul’s power calculus. Then art critic Andrew Russeth joins to explore what a better art world could look like, drawing on proposals from leading artists for free museums, fairer support for working artists, less auction-driven speculation, and more global, risk-taking, community-based art that helps people feel less alone and imagine new futures.
