Press Play with Madeleine Brand
Art History vs. Factory Jobs, Super Bowl Prep, and Cat Art
Today we debate the value of the humanities versus manufacturing jobs, visit L.A.’s first cat art show, and we get prepped for the Super Bowl.

Plus, why are politicians always touting manufacturing jobs? Are they all they’re cracked-up to be? We also visit L.A.’s first cat art show, and we get prepped for this weekend’s Super Bowl.
