It may be distant but there's no question the outcome will reverberate here in Lux and across the globe ... Tuesday sees the US presidential (etc!) election taking place, and today's show mostly homes in on that, highlighting some of the tracks that artists have sought to stop the candidates playing at rallies, plus some who have declared their ardent support ...
I also look ahead to some upcoming interviews to be featured on the show!
