  • What will downtown look like post-COVID?

    As businesses begin to call workers back to the office, some question how the pandemic will affect downtown areas. We speak with a senior fellow from the Brookings Institution think tank about how city centers may change.

  • Betting on politics as an alternative to polls

    Most polls leading up to the 2020 presidential election incorrectly overstated Joe Biden’s lead over Donald Trump, according to Pew Research. We talk with the founder of a “stock market for politics” about an alternative for gauging public opinion.
