Everyone's talking about obstacles to voting this year, from the
post office to the pandemic. Sam talks with NPR's Miles Parks about
how everything's supposed to work with the election in November.
Then, Sam calls up historian Martha S. Jones, author of the
forthcoming book Vanguard: How Black Women Broke Barriers, Won the
Vote, and Insisted on Equality for All. They talk about why voting
looks the way it does even in a normal cycle, and what the U.S.
Constitution actually says about voting. Plus, Sam talks with
comedian Robin Thede, creator and showrunner of A Black Lady Sketch
Show, which is nominated for three Emmys this year. They talk about
her long career in comedy, which includes her time as head writer
for The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore and as host of The Rundown
with Robin Thede, and play the game Who Said That.
