Today's interviews are about transporting you to different places. The first is with cousins Tricia Elam Walker and Ekua Holmes who wrote a children's book, Dream Street, about the neighborhood where they grew up in Roxbury, Mass.

Our next interview is with writer Clint Smith, who traveled to different locations across the country for his book on slavery, How the Word is Passed. He told NPR's Mary Louise Kelly he wanted to talk about places that still exist because slavery wasn't that long ago.

Lost Debate - Ep 15 | January 6, Pandemic Politics, Chicago Cancels Class

Ravi and Cory welcome new co-host, Rikki Schlott, to the show. Rikki is a contributor to Reason and the New York Post and brings a more libertarian, conservative. viewpoint to our debate. Together they reflect on the one-year anniversary of January 6 and all the alarming changes to our country since that day. President Biden is sticking with a Covid refrain: “pandemic of the unvaccinated.” Is the early data on omicron undercutting that narrative? Finally, classes are canceled in Chicago; conservatives and liberals agree we shouldn’t accept full-scale school closures at this point in the pandemic.
