This hour, a look at some of the ways culture and politics seem to be overlapping at the moment.

First, we wonder who might play all these new candidates on the upcoming season of Saturday Night Live.

And then, we try to understand all the focus — from both sides — on Kamala Harris’ laugh.

And finally, just why in the world is Donald Trump so obsessed with Hannibal Lecter?

GUESTS:
Margaret Hartmann: A senior editor for New York magazine’s Intelligencer
Dave Itzkoff: A journalist and writer and the author of four books; his most recent is Robin
Maura Judkis: A reporter covering culture, fashion, politics, food, and the arts for The Washington Post

The Colin McEnroe Show is public radio’s most eclectic, eccentric weekday program. The best way to understand us is through the subjects we tackle: Neanderthals, tambourines, handshakes, the Iliad, snacks, ringtones, punk rock, Occam’s razor, Rasputin, houseflies, zippers. Are you sensing a pattern? If so, you should probably be in treatment. On Fridays, we try to stop thinking about what kind of ringtones Neanderthals would want to have and convene a panel called The Nose for an informal roundtable about the week in culture.
