Hollow Constituencies / National Popular Vote / Tort Museum Interns Read the Dictionary

KPFA - The Ralph Nader Radio Hour

First up on today’s wide-ranging show, Ralph speaks to political scientist Adolph Reed about how American politics has started taking its cues from professional wrestling and how the left can rebuild itself. Then, we welcome Steve Silberstein from National Popular Vote to update us on their interstate compact’s progress. Finally, we’re joined by three interns from the American Museum of Tort Law — Dylan Bird, Gabriel Duffany, and Rachel Donovan — who discuss a rather unique summer assignment.

GUESTS:

Adolph Reed is Professor Emeritus of political science at the University of Pennsylvania, an organizer with the Debs-Jones-Douglass Institute’s Medicare-for-All, South Carolina initiative, and co-host of Class Matters Podcast. His most recent books are The South: Jim Crow and Its Afterlives and (with Walter Benn Michaels) No Politics but Class Politics.

Steve Silberstein founded and served as the first president of Innovative Interfaces Inc., a leading supplier of computer software for the automation of college and city libraries.
