Hi! This is Mike Honig. You’re listening to Thinkwing Radio. We had some technical difficulties this week, so we’re running a show out of the Thinkwing Archive. This is our show from the Labor Day 2020 program. We picked it because it reminded us just how much can change in less than a year. Your next stop: The Twilght Zone!

POSSIBLE TOPICS: A primer from last Labor Day: from Mon, 9-2-2019; Ballot applications are latest flashpoint in expanded vote-by-mail process; Democrats Hold Secret Edge If Election Is Too Close to Call; Nearly all Black Lives Matter protests are peaceful despite Trump narrative, report finds; New York police hunt car that drove into BLM protesters in Times Square; Lake Travis [Austin, TX]: Several boats sink at pro-Trump parade in Texas after A Boat On The Willamette River Sank After Being Swamped By Waves During A Trump Boat Parade; Quarantine Could Change How Americans Think of Incarceration; Uploading Books That Are Secretly in the Public Domain; more

SHOW AUDIO: Link is usually posted within about 72 hours of show broadcast.

This program was recorded on SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 6 at about 6:30 AM.  Due to Covid-19, shows are being prerecorded beginning March 13th and until further notice. We miss our live call-in participants, and look forward to a time we can once again go live.
