Summary

On episode 4 of The Kate Halper Show, Nate Silver of fivethirtyeight talks to us about a study which finds that Black Americans are almost eight times as likely as white Americans to be victims of homicide. Comedians Ted Alexandro and Desiree Burch talk about politics and humor, and Chris Cobb discusses how he encouraged New York City to recognize site of a former slave market on Wall Street and mark it with a plaque.
