I start my day every day with Brian
I’ve been listening to The Brian Lehrer Show for decades, but now it’s even more important to me. It’s a one place that I am sure that what I am hearing is clear, unambiguous, and free of personal prejudice. Brian is infinitely.upbeat, understanding and very, very good at managing calls, particularly those that need stopping or redirecting Brian Lehr is a gem

Important topic!! Going further, consider a deep dive into how location tracking data is sold to brokers and eventually marketing companies. But worse it is also sold to scammers. Is there a program / phone app to “track” safely where your data is not sold?
Brian, thought you were better than this
You had a woman on who said it is ok for people to break in and occupy Columbia because “thats what happens in protests”, you need to be better as a media host. Im really disappointed that you didnt even bring up the fact that jewish students werent allowed to go to class which is against federal law. You just took this ladies pro hatred talking points and didnt counter at all.
