Notes from America with Kai Wright

Message Received: Listener Questions About Trump, What ‘The Wiz’ Means and Stories About Summer


Listen Later

Back in April, some of our listeners told us they were “Trump curious.” A few months later, the former president is now a convicted criminal and other listeners have lingering questions.

The Notes from America inbox is always teeming with interesting takes from our audience and in this episode, host Kai Wright is joined by producer Regina de Heer to go through the various messages the show has received in recent months. They include notes about this year’s presidential election, one listener’s chance interaction with a performance of “The Wiz” in a historic town, and a touching response to our request for your stories about summer. 

By the way, it’s not too late to send in your summer stories! Do you have a summer tradition that you will be breaking this year, for whatever reason? Will you make an intentional change to your seasonal routine, whether big or small? If so, we want to hear from you. Leave us a voicemail at 844-745-8255 with your name, location and the story of what you’re doing differently. Or you can record a voice memo on your device and email it to us at [email protected]. Regina just may reach back out to you for a more detailed version of your shifting summer experience.

Tell us what you think. We're @noteswithkai on Instagram and X (Twitter). Email us at [email protected]. Send us a voice message by recording yourself on your phone and emailing us, or record one here.

Notes from America airs live on Sundays at 6 p.m. ET. The podcast episodes are lightly edited from our live broadcasts.
