About this episode
We'd love to hear your thoughts on the podcast. Take the survey at wbur.org/survey. New York Mayor Eric Adams has pleaded not guilty to federal bribery and conspiracy charges. New York City Comptroller Brad Lander is second in line to be mayor if Adams should resign or be removed. Lander joins us to talk about why he's calling on Adams to step down.

Stephen Fagin, curator for the Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza, joins us. Then, Saturday Night Live celebrates its 50th anniversary this week. Ithaca College Professor Stephen Tropiano joins us to unpack the cultural impact of NBC's sketch comedy show.
