For the first time in over two years, Emily Bazelon of The New York Times Magazine, John Dickerson of CBS News, and David Plotz of City Cast will have their signature discussion, debate, and banter in front of a live audience as they wrestle with the most important political, legal, and cultural questions of our age.
