The dust has settled - well, or is settling, or about to be overturned, depending who you ask.

Yet after the election, we still have polarization. Covid-19. And the threat of Kanye running again.

How will things play out? What part should we play? We sort through the rubble with an excellent lineup of comedians and experts, including:

• Helen Hong, favorite on NPR’s “Wait Wait, Don’t Tell Me” and seen on HBO’s Silicon Valley!

• Jackie Kashian, comedian with #1 iTunes comedy album “I am not the hero of this story” and host of the Dork Forest podcast!

• Jose Sarduy, comedian seen on Last Call with Carson Daly and a US Air Force pilot!

• Mark A. Peterson, UCLA professor and expert on national institutions!

• Geraldo Cadava, Northwestern professor and author of The Hispanic Republican!

Plus your questions from the audience! Hosted as always by Toby Muresianu.

Owing to the ongoing pandemic, this will be our first all-digital show - so people can attend from sea to shining sea with the following login info:

The story is familiar. Traffic is a problem, the drivers are terrible, and mass transit isn't what it should be.

How is should it change? With self-driving cars, bird scooters, high-speed rail and whatever Elon Musk has come with this week all in the mix, we could be at - dare we say - a crossroads. To help figure out what route to take, we're bringing a group of experts, comics, and possibly annoyed citizens together to discuss it.

Featuring comics: 

Virginia Jones, of Portlandia and CNN's The History of Comedy!

(Stephen) Brody Stevens, of Last Call with Carson Daily and Comedy Central's The Half Hour!

Experts:

Joe Linton, editor of StreetsBlog LA!

Brian Taylor, head of UCLA's Institute for Transportation Studies!

Hosted by Toby Muresianu.

The show will be on Tuesday, 9/4 at 9:30pm, rather than the usual Monday, on account of Labor Day. It's still at the Hollywood Improv comedy club and tickets are just $5 - get yours today!
