We Could Live in a Different World Tomorrow

Steve Scaffidi and Kristin Brey open the show on Wisconsin Election Day, checking in with listeners about turnout, polling locations, and whether massive campaign spending actually changes outcomes. They also question what civic duty should look like in the U.S. — and whether voting should be required. The conversation then turns sharply to national news, reacting to President Trump’s escalating rhetoric toward Iran and the lack of response from Congress, raising questions about how quickly global events could change everyday life. Later, Tory Lowe joins to promote an upcoming community cleanup event, followed by discussions on AI, media trust, space exploration through the Artemis mission, and how technology continues to shape culture — including the rise of AI-generated music.
