On this edition of Your Call’s Media Roundtable, we're getting an update on the devastating fires in Northern California. The fast moving wildfire in Butte and Yuba Counties have killed 10 people. Thousands have been forced to evacuate. Paradise, a town devastated by fires two years ago, is, once again, under threat.
Later in the show, we'll discuss voter suppression and the Trump administration’s efforts to sabotage mail-in voting.
Guests:
Dani Anguiano, copy editor for the Guardian US and co-author of Fire In Paradise: An American Tragedy
Ari Berman, senior reporter for Mother Jones and author of Give Us the Ballot: The Modern Struggle for Voting Rights in America
