Valley Edition - November 6, 2018 - "I Voted" Sticker, Helping Hmong Speakers Vote, "Free Solo"

It’s Tuesday, November 6th, 2018. Today, you can’t escape the elections.

We hear from two political science professors about the issues on the ballot in Fresno and in Bakersfield. We also talk to one very young city council candidate whose political aspirations go back to the farm worker’s movement.

Plus we talk to a group that’s addressing voting barriers for Hmong elders in Fresno, and look at the origins of the “I Voted” sticker.

And later, we talk to the documentary filmmakers whose movie, “Free Solo” is showing this week around the Valley. They captured Alex Honnold climbing El Capitan in Yosemite, without any ropes.

 

Listen to the podcast above to hear this week's weekly news and culture magazine, "Valley Edition."
