First hour: State Senate candidates Jen Lunsford and Jeremy Cooney
Second hour: The new documentary, "Dialogue in Metal"
We've reached out to candidates for prominent political offices this campaign season. Our goal is to bring political opponents together on the show for a conversation and debate. In some races, incumbents have decided not to participate. So today, we have, in studio:
- Jen Lunsford, candidate for State Senate, District 55
- Jeremy Cooney, candidate for State Senate, District 56
Their opponents, Senator Rich Funke and Senator Joe Robach, are declining to come on the program before the election.
Then in our second hour, WXXI has produced a new documentary that unites master fabricator Jesse James with one of his heroes, the great metal sculptor Albert Paley. The two men collaborated on pieces of art, and the documentary unveils the results. We talk to both James and Paley, and we discuss how this remarkable program came together with WXXI's own Todd McCammon and Tom Dooley.
