ABOUT THE PROGRAM It’s Wednesday, November 7. You voted in the 2018 midterm elections, and now it’s all over. So, what happened? What did it all mean? And more importantly, what’s going to come next as President Trump faces a new Congress? On the night after the elections, join KCRW’s Left, Right & Center and New York Magazine’s Intelligencer to close the book on the midterms. Enjoy a cocktail and get the recap you need with some of the brightest political thinkers in the country – right in midtown Manhattan! Josh Barro, Ana Marie Cox and Rich Lowry – your center, your left, and your right – will review and analyze the election results with Steve Kornacki of MSNBC and Astead W. Herndon of the New York Times. Then, the Left, Right & Center panel will talk with Jonathan Chait and Olivia Nuzzi of New York Magazine’s Intelligencer about what’s next for President Trump with the intensifying Mueller investigation and a new Congress. Left, Right & Center is KCRW’s popular political radio show and podcast that’s full of civilized yet provocative conversation about the issues facing our country. And Intelligencer is New York Magazine’s new website that briefs you on all you need to know about politics, business and technology. Whether you’re celebrating a win or mourning a loss after the midterms, you’ll hear things that you agree with and things you disagree with. That’s by design, and trust us: it will be fun.
ABOUT LEFT, RIGHT & CENTER Left, Right & Center is a weekly political showdown that invites the most intelligent thinkers to talk through the most important issues stymying our government. It’s a clash of ideas, not a clash of personalities: You’ll be surprised at how often different sides agree! The show delves in policy and pop culture, always with an eye to elevating the conversation. In addition to over 1 million listeners online, LRC airs at 3pm and 7pm Fridays on KCRW 89.9FM in Los Angeles, at 7pm Fridays on KALW 91.7FM in San Francisco, and 6pm and 6pm Saturdays on WNYC AM820 in New York. The show is available at KCRW.com, KCRW’s smartphone app, or wherever you listen to podcasts. LRC is your civilized yet provocative antidote to the opinion bubbles dominating today’s political debate

TOUR THE HISTORIC TOWN HALL Town Hall has played an integral part in the electrifying cultural fabric of New York City for more than 90 years. A group of Suffragists’ fight for the 19th Amendment led them to build a meeting space to educate people on the important issues of the day. During its construction, the 19th Amendment was passed, and on January 12, 1921 The Town Hall opened its doors and took on a double meaning: as a symbol of the victory sought by its founders, and as a spark for a new, more optimistic climate. In 1921, German composer Richard Strauss performed a series of concerts that cemented the Hall’s reputation as an ideal venue for musical performances. Since, Town Hall has been home to countless musical milestones: The US debuts of Strauss, and Isaac Stern; Marian Anderson’s first New York recital; in 1945, Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker introduced bebop to the world; Bob Dylan’s first major concert in ‘63; and much much more.
