from WNYC I'm Brian Laird this is my daily politics podcast it's Wednesday June 3rd

David Remnick is with us the editor-in-chief of the New Yorker and host of the New Yorker

Radio Hour which the magazine and we here at WNYC produced together. We'll talk about this morning's midterm elections news,

some media news, including CBS firing Scott Pelly after he criticized their new boss, Barry Weiss.

That broke last night. And we'll preview a live taping David will be doing for the New Yorker

Radio Hour

next week as part of the Tribeca Film Festival with former Obama speechwriter and now podcast host

John Lovett. So David, I did the event plug at the top instead of just at the end of our

conversation. Wasn't that nice of me? You're a total mensch. And at the cost of

stretching your patients then, I'll be at the Y tomorrow night with my colleagues, Evan Osnose,

and Susan Glasser and Jane Mayer, the 92nd Street Y to talk politics is a lot to talk about.

Yes, tomorrow night at the 92nd Street Y.

In fact, we had Susan and Evan on together Monday for what was a great conversation about politics,

so I'm sure that'll be awesome.

So, yeah.

I just thank God that it's occurring on a non-Nick game night because I would you know, I would have wriggled out of that baby really fast.

Yeah, yeah.

You scheduled it back when the NBA schedule came out in October.

Okay, I'm kidding.

But I do want to preview your Tribeca event a little bit,

so we'll totally upstage it.

No, I'm kidding.
