5 p.m. – America, Are We Ready? South Carolina Edition
From WNYC comes the latest program in an ongoing series of pop-up, live call-in discussions that lift the voices of callers from across the country as we move toward the 2020 presidential election. The series is hosted by WNYC’s Brian Lehrer, in collaboration with the Associated Press and local station partners throughout the country. These programs are broad, good faith, inclusive discussions aimed at providing news and information to listeners.
