Today on Insight, we discuss the vice presidential debate and fact-check some of the participants' statements. We also check in with CapRadio Modern Music Director Nick Brunner to listen to his interview with guitarist Marnie Stern.

Today's Guests

  • Longtime political journalist and Ken Rudin's Political Junkie podcast host Ken Rudin joins us to discuss the VP debate

  • CapRadio's Politifact California Reporter Chris Nichols fact-checks some of the statements made during the VP debate

  • CapRadio Assistant Program Director and Modern Music Director Nick Brunner presents his interview with Marnie Stern - she's the guitarist for Seth Meyer's band, and she got THAT gig because she is a phenom. She recorded her solo albums in Sac with Zach Hill. We talk about her thoughts on performing on TV thanks to COVID, how her thinking & approach to playing had to shift when she made the move to TV, her love of Sacramento (and Zelda's pizza) as well as this month marking ten years since her album, Marnie Stern, was released.
