A Little on the Nose, History
Recovering from the presidential election and talking to former Rep. Barney Frank about where we go from here
This week on Unorthodox: the reckoning.
We’re joined by a special guest to help us process last week’s presidential election, and figure out what happens now. Former Congressman Barney Frank, who represented the fourth district of Massachusetts from 1981 to 2013, talks about the impacts of race and class on the election and what the Democratic establishment needs to address moving forward.
Torontonians! Join us tonight, Nov. 17, for our live show at Beth Tzedec Congregation at 7:30 p.m. Tickets here. Also, if you’d like to let us stay with you indefinitely, let us know.
We love hearing from you. Email us at [email protected] with comments or questions, or just to say hello. We may share your note on air.
