Gov. Newsom’s national political strategy. How California’s infrastructure package impacts manufacturing. Debut book from NPR Pop Culture Happy Hour’s Aisha Harris.

Gov. Newsom's political strategy

CalMatters Reporter Ben Christopher discusses Gov. Gavin Newsom’s national political strategy, following a proposal to add a constitutional amendment to the US constitution for gun control policies, as well as his primetime interview with Fox News Host Sean Hannity. 

Manufacturing in California

Build now and build faster and that means more jobs in California. That’s Governor Newsom’s theme for his new $180 billion dollar infrastructure plan over the next decade.  From roads, to bridges, to clean energy and broadband, it seems like everything is on the table.  But why now?  And what took so long?  Lance Hastings is CEO and President of the California Manufacturers & Technology Association and joins us to breakdown the package of investments the Governor is proposing.

Pop Culture Happy Hour

As the host of NPR’s Pop Culture Happy Hour, Aisha Harris knows how pop culture shapes how we see ourselves, how we view the world, and why that perception can evolve over time. Perhaps a movie or show we loved at one point in our lives doesn’t land well now. But as a child of the 90’s, Aisha is turning inward and putting a mirror up to that pop culture” exploration. She joins Insight to discuss her debut book “Wannabe: Reckonings with the Pop Culture That Shapes Me.”
