Part One: We speak with David Faris, author and polisci professor at Roosevelt University about his new piece at theweek.com, “Beto is the New Bernie.” A look at the excitement that began generating during Beto’s US Senate race, and continues to build.

Part Two: Henry Grabar writes for Slate’s Moneybox. Henry joins us to talk about two of his recent stories, one looking at how Minneapolis has done away with single family zoning, and what that means for housing in the city – and how it combats the historic racism inherent in zoning regulations. His second piece looks at a bill proposed in Oregon that would require cities to allow apartments in residential neighborhoods.
