Summary

We'd love to hear your thoughts on the podcast. Take the survey here or at wbur.org/survey. An Israeli strike Friday killed Hezbollah's leader Hassan Nasrallah, sending shockwaves through the region. Lawrence Freedman, emeritus professor of war studies at King's College in London, talks about Nasrallah's background and impact. Then, one under-the-radar item on Tim Walz's resume that may come up in Tuesday's vice presidential debate is his many trips to China. The Financial Times' Demetri Sevastopulo tells us about Walz's relationship with China. And, film critic and "Ty Burr's Watchlist" creator Ty Burr shares a list of films you might want to check out this election season if the real-life political drama isn't enough.
