State of the World from NPR - A Nightclub Turned Shelter in Beirut

More than a fifth of Lebanon's population is now displaced, mostly fleeing from the country's south as Israel carries out airstrikes against the Iran-backed group Hezbollah there. With so many people out of their homes, they're taking refuge anywhere they can, including in one of Beirut's most popular nightclubs. Our reporter in Lebanon introduces us to some of the displaced.

Lost Debate - Nevada Warning Signs, Latino Vote, and Immigration

The latest early voting numbers are in, and they reveal surprising gains for Republicans, including an unexpected lead in Nevada. Meanwhile, Democrats face an uphill battle in key battleground states like Georgia and Michigan. Ravi explains what’s driving these trends and what they suggest about the final stretch of the election.

He then welcomes Paola Ramos, MSNBC contributor and author of Defectors: The Rise of the Latino Far Right and What It Means for America, for an in-depth conversation about the Latino vote. Ravi and Paola explore the evolving dynamics within the Latino community, discussing everything from demographic shifts to the complexities of identity politics. Finally, they examine the strategies the Democratic and Republican parties have used to connect with Latino voters and why this diverse electorate could ultimately determine the outcome of the election.

The Indicator from Planet Money - Why the publishing industry is hot (and bothered) for romance

Once relegated to supermarket aisles, romance books are now mainstream. And authors, an often-maligned group within publishing, have found greater commercial success than many writers in other genres.

The Bulwark Podcast - Mitch Landrieu and Will Saletan: Trump Lives in the Mud

The ex-POTUS has resolved that his route to regain power is creating hate, fear, and anger.

Plus, Elon's despicable Nick Fuentes-grade ads targeting Jewish and Arab voters, and the MIA anti-Trump Republican men who are banking on Liz to do most of the talking.
