The Nose Keeps Hot Sauce in Its WNPR Tote Bag

This week, the universe chirped... and we heard it! Samantha Bee's new politics-lampooning late-night show debuted to a ton of buzz. The primary debates continued, and debate Twitter was watching.

And one of the louder sounds trying to drown out converging black holes this week was the live debut of Beyonce's "Formation" at the Super Bowl (the Super Bowl was really this week, we swear it was). We'll look at the song, the performance, the video, the controversy, and the... sales at Red Lobster.

GUESTS:

  • Madyson Frame - Student at the Journalism & Media Academy at WNPR
  • Rand Cooper - author, essayist, and restaurant critic for The New York Times
  • Theresa Cramer - writer and the editor of E-Content Magazine, and founding editor of The Cut
  • Madyson Frame - junior at Journalism and Media Academy in Hartford
  • Irene Papoulis - lecturer in the Allan K. Smith Center for Writing and Rhetoric at Trinity College
