A WORD FROM OUR HOSTS  ZACH: This week, the show was defined by Mr. Jaden Jefferson — the young reporter who is coming for all of our jobs. It was not only incredible to see that young man ask question to Sen. Elizabeth Warren BETTER than many of my seasoned colleagues in the viral videos, BUT TO THEN come on our show and give some fuego analysis. Whew. The youth are the future, and they are coming for your job. Watch. Out. ALEX: This week was all about the two presidential debates, but we still had some great interviews about culture and entertainment. On Thursday, Sylvia and I talked to 2020 Democratic presidential candidate and former Colorado governor John Hickenlooper. He went viral for the moment at the first debate where he threw his arms in the air a la Bernie Sanders, which we asked about, naturally. Then, on Friday, I loved chatting with "Stranger Things" actor Maya Hawke about playing Robin, the show's first LGBTQ+ character. As a queer woman myself, I was moved by this storyline on the show, so it was meaningful to hear about how intentional she was when portraying this character.
 Huge shoutout to Jaden Jefferson, our favorite kid reporter, for breaking down both nights of the debate for us!
