Press Play with Madeleine Brand

Plus, AI leaders say we need to pump the brakes, President Trump wants to make it harder for immigrants to access government benefits, and why the Emmys’ comedy category is filled with dramas.

Plus, is the U.S. better prepared for a 9/11-style attack today? Our weekend film reviews include a sequel to 1998’s Practical Magic, and Evan Kleiman has dessert ideas for the Jewish High Holidays.

Plus, Congresswoman Laura Friedman wants federal tax incentives to keep film production in the U.S., and how conspiracies that flourished after 9/11 had roots in government actions before then.

Plus, the health effects from 9/11 25 years after the attacks in New York, President Trump asks the Supreme Court to allow restrictions on mail-in voting for the midterms, and AI is making music.

On this Labor Day, it's a special "Producer's Cut" edition of Press Play. Extended versions of some of our favorite interviews that we've never broadcast before. Like our conversation with resterauteur Dan Tana's daughters. And Ariana Morgenstern, who helped shape KCRW's signature sound.
