WNYC's Brian Lehrer Show
Newest Episode: Tue February 09, 2010. 05:00 AM
Brian Lehrer and his guests take on the issues dominating conversation in New York and around the world. This daily program from WNYC, New York public radio, cuts through the usual talk radio punditry and brings a smart, humane approach to the day's events. Recent topics and guests have included an interview with Queens City Councilman Tony Avella about abolishing horse-drawn carriages around Central Park; a talk with New York Times reporter Sewell Chan about webinars; a discussion with Christian Science Monitor correspondent Alenxandra Marks about the cap on flights out of JFK Airport; a chat with New Yorker writer Malcolm Gladwell and University of Virginia psychology professor Eric Turkheimer about the idea that race and IQ might be correlated.
