Election Special - S1-E4

Following the recent election “Kurt Vonnegut: Reporter on the Afterlife” roams the great beyond interviewing legendary figures from across the political spectrum:

Shirley Chisholm, the first black female U.S legislator singing explains, "being female put many more obstacles in her path than being black", her homie Abraham Lincoln ponders the next American civil war, antagonist General Curtis “Bombs Away” LeMay shares his ironic philosophy on peace, and hero Eugene Debs “Workers of the World Unite!” outlines a new path.

All the while, Vonnegut deploys his trademark wit and charm digging into an oven-hot contest in the Afterlife about the best baked treat. 

Hear Vonnegut explore different perspectives that remind us that we are all human.
