John Mulaney returns to host for the sixth time in this pre-election episode. In our post-election analysis, we consider Kamala Harris’ appearance in the Pre-Election Cold Open, the role of memory in democratic participation with What’s That Name: Election Edition, and what it means to know New York with Port Authority Duane Reade. Readings include Alexis de Tocqueville’s “Democracy in America” as well as philosophical and psychological explorations of memory and knowledge.
