KCRW’s Left, Right & Center Live!
Super Thursday (the Super Tuesday pre-show)

KCRW’s wildly popular politics show Left, Right & Center comes to The Broad Stage for a special live show right before Super Tuesday, the biggest day of primary election voting.

Date & Time
Thursday, February 20, 2020
Doors | 7pm
Show | 8pm

Location
Broad Stage
1310 11th St
Santa Monica, CA 90401

Josh Barro, the host and Center of the show, moderates the lively conversation with Left panelist Elizabeth Bruenig, Right panelist Tim Carney, and special guests Keli Goff and Gustavo Arellano. Who’s the likely Democratic nominee? Which candidate is reaching voters? Does it matter that California’s primary will now be held on Super Tuesday? And what will the Super Tuesday results say about the 2020 presidential election? Josh and the panel will make their best predictions for the Democratic presidential race and more. Left, Right & Center is your civilized yet provocative antidote to the self-contained opinion bubbles that dominate political debate. At this show, you’ll hear some of the brightest political thinkers agree, disagree, predict, rant and more.
