In this crossover episode, ITT airs the second episode of the new podcast, Climate 2020, a podcast that zeroes in on climate change as a top issue of the 2020 presidential election. Impeachment has thrown a monkey wrench into the news cycle -- and the scandal has a climate change link. Hosts of Climate 2020, journalist David Gelber and executive director of Climate Nexus, Jeff Nesbit talk with Ben Lefebvre, energy reporter at Politico, and Leah Stokes, climate and energy politics researcher and professor of political science at University of California Santa Barbara, about the disconnect between voters and congress on climate change.

In this crossover episode, ITT airs the first episode of the new podcast, Radical Imagination, that's produced by our very own Futuro Studios. The U.S. once had open borders. Migrants from all over the world would arrive fleeing war, escaping poverty and seeking opportunity. Open borders made our country strong. But many Americans today are horrified by the idea of “open borders.” Harsh new immigration policies are making it more difficult than ever to come to the U.S. or even ask for asylum. Nevertheless, violence, oppression, poverty, desperation, and hope continue to drive migrants to our borders. Last year, more than 1,000 migrants from Central America gathered near the border of Guatemala and Mexico to travel north in search of asylum. Radical Imagination host Angela Glover Blackwell of PolicyLink sits down with Roberto Corona, founder of People Without Borders, an organization that assisted this refugee caravan. We also hear from New York Times Columnist Farhad Manjoo, who has called for open borders. Subscribe to Radical Imagination, wherever you get your podcasts.
