It’s debate season and Monday night marks the first showdown between presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.
This hour, we discuss what this first presidential debate means for voters in the Nutmeg State and nationwide. And we talk with PolitiFact.com founder Bill Adair on how his team wades through statements that come out of the mouths of politicians. What does fact checking mean for you this election season?
Plus, thousands of immigrants move to Connecticut each year. Who are they and why do they come here? We’re starting an occasional series on Where We Live to hear their stories. We talk with a Chilean immigrant about his journey to Connecticut from a small town in the Atacama Desert and we hear about his new novelhitting bookstores in November.
GUESTS:
- Max Reiss - Political reporter for NBC Connecticut
- Bill Adair - Founder of PolitiFact.com and Professor of the Practice of Journalism and Public Policy at Duke University
- Ricardo Henriquez - Chilean immigrant, author of new novel The Catcher's Trap, senior manager of community investment at United Way of Central and Northeastern Connecticut
