Episode 168: Things We Can't Let Go

Today on this holiday-edition of Polilogue, we took a different approach to design the show. Instead of our typical format (highlight, lowlight + 2 themed segments), we took a page from the NPR Politics podcast. For each show, we identified one thing that we can’t let go. We discuss a wide range of observations, including the missing Hong Kong context, the inflated spotlight of Chris Christie and Rham Emmanuel, learning in public, the tone and tenor of military coverage, and much more. Happy Memorial Day to everyone and thank you to all of our veterans and active-duty service members!
