Hey folks, real quick before the show, if you are looking for election coverage, I want to point you

to three NPR shows that you can listen to you. Up first is NPR's morning news podcast. It's all the

news you need to know, and it's recorded really early before the sun comes up and you can get it

each weekday. The NPR Politics podcast is out later in the day, and it offers context and

every evening, and it covers one big story in depth, often in the world of politics. So to recap,

that is up first in the morning, consider this in the evening and the NPR

politics podcast anytime big stuff happens.
