Please Explain (The Leonard Lopate Show)
In Please Explain, we set aside time every Friday afternoon to get to the bottom of one complex issue. Ever wonder how New York City’s water system works? Or how the US became so polarized politically? We’ll back up and review the basic facts and principles of complicated issues across a broad range of topics — history, politics, science, you name it.
