It’s Columbus Day, and Arnie is taking the day off. We’re rebroadcasting 2 interviews from the last month that are full of news you need to know. (Arnie says get a pen and paper and take notes!)

Part One: David Dayen is a contributing writer to Salon and the Intercept, and weekly columnist for the New Republic and the Fiscal Times. He speaks with us two of his recent pieces, Its not the journey, its the Destination about health care, and Break Up the Credit Reporting Racket about the three companies that our sensitive personal financial information.

Part Two: All the talk about the NFL and protest in the workplace got us thinking. We speak with John Meyer, an employment lawyer (who formerly worked for the NH ACLU) about free speech in the workplace, and what kind of rights workers have. Not many, it turns out.
