June 24 Issue! We discuss: Amy Sorkin Davidson on Biden/T***p; Sheelah Kolhatkar on Elizabeth Warren's economics; Peter Schjeldahl on Whitman at 200; and much more!

This week, Dan and Eric discuss recent experiences--Dan went to a Vermont conference for Jewish writers, Eric saw two concerts.  They discuss the shame a person in their 40s might feel when engaging in a purely recreational activity.  Then, onto the New Yorker.  D and E talk Sorkin Davidson on Biden and Trump; Sheelah Kolhatkar on policy dynamo Elizabeth Warren; and Peter Schjeldahl on American bard Walt Whitman.  Plus: the two hosts talk about the evolving editorial synchrony between the New Yorker magazine, its website and its podcasts.
