There's spin, there's shading the truth and then there are brazen lies that aren't even remotely grounded in reality. Joshua Holland kicks off this week's show with a look at our post-truth Republican Party.

Then we're joined by Svante Myrick, the mayor of Ithaca, New York, who is leading one of the most ambitious efforts in the country--one that might prove to be a model for other communities.

And then Wall Street Journal reporter Drew Hinshaw brings us a bizarre but surprisingly common story from the shady world of international shipping.
