KAREEM RAHMA'S SHOW KEEP THE METER RUNNING FROM SYRIA

I’ll air the trailer for the final episode of "Keep the Meter Running", as Kareem Rahma of Subway Takes takes the series international, driving around Damascus, Syria, with taxi driver Bashar. It’s a journey through history, humanity, and the stories you discover behind the wheel.
Then writer TJ English joins me to talk about his new book, Blood in the Desert, which explores subjects as varied as jazz, boxing, police corruption, violence in the desert Southwest, and the comedy of George Carlin. It’s a fascinating look at a writer drawn to the fault lines of American life
