Left, Right & Center
KCRW's podcast Left, Right & Center is hosted by Josh Barro. In each weekly episode, Barro represents the Center viewpoints and "hosts a discussion of the week's news and issues with thought leaders on the Right and Left, and expert guests." The show has been on air since 1996 and aims to "bust[] the opinion bubbles and echo chambers with genuine discussion and real talk."
President Biden took questions from reporters on Wednesday for nearly two hours — ranging widely from voting rights to Ukraine and more — as senators from his own party threatened his top legislative goals.
The president says he’s outperformed expectations. His approval rating — a meager 40% or so — doesn’t seem to square with that. But can Biden be blamed for taking power during a historic pandemic? Or did he set himself up for failure by trying to strongarm moderate Democrats into a bill they already said they wouldn’t vote for?
