From the Oct. 8, 2020 Another View Roundtable episode. 

Anxiety is high and uncertainty prevails as President Trump is hospitalized with COVID-19. The First Lady is also infected, along with several senators, former elected officials, reporters and even the White House press secretary. The AV Round table tackles this subject, along with the vice-presidential debate, and the continuing saga of the "Portsmouth 19".

Hosted by Barbara Hamm Lee, the program airs every Thursday at noon on 89.5 WHRV-FM. Barbara Hamm Lee is the Executive Producer and Host of Another View. She can be reached at Barbara.Hamm@whro.org.
