TMSIDK travels to Washington, D.C. — the city that wants to be a state — to learn about wannabes, from international spies to new human organs. Our panelists are:
Tim Harford, “Undercover Economist” and host of the BBC podcast More or Less, who once matched wits with [a] James Bond.
Carla Hayden, the Librarian of Congress, who can’t wink but can dream of a career on the baseball diamond.
Rahmein Mostafavi, one of D.C.’s top comics, who achieved one of his “wannabe” dreams …and lived to regret it.
Our real-time fact-checker is Femi Oke, international journalist, who struggles to get Americans to understand her.
