Election Results

The political ads are gone, the polls have closed and the votes have been tabulated. We'll get analysis of yesterday's gubernatorial race from John Baer, political columnist for the Philadelphia Daily News. And WESA Senior News Editor Mark Nootbaar joins us with a wrap-up of local races.

WESA Celebrates - Annie Yonas and Griffin Kerstetter

An inability to spell homeless resulted in the naming of the Home Lost project. An initiative begun by Annie Yonas and Griffin Kerstetter as a means of helping the homeless stay warm in the winter. Their efforts are profiled in this week’s WESA Celebrates.

Future of the Global Economy

Is there a connection between yesterday's national elections and globalization? We'll pose that question to Dr. Michael Mandelbaum, professor of American Foreign Policy at the Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies.
