Flags have been making a lot of headlines lately, and it's not
because today is National Flag Day. The upside down flag that was
flown outside of Justice Samuel Alito's house after January 6th is
back in the headlines again. Plus the Colorado Republican Party has
been making news for their post on X to "burn all the #pride flags
this June." Host Brittany Luse is joined by Nick Capodice and
Hannah McCarthy - hosts of NHPR's Civics 101 - to get into why both
liberals and conservatives get so riled up by a piece of
fabric.

Then, in honor of the Tony Awards this weekend, Brittany sits down
with critic and playwright Sarah Jae Leiber. They talk about why
there are so many presidents in American musical theater, the
bizarreness of some of these portrayals and what the real
politicians pulling the strings get out of it.
