Scam Advisory: We have been made aware that an online entity is posing as Joe Donahue to invite authors and other creatives onto our radio shows. The scammers then attempt to charge guests an appearance fee for exposure/publicity.
Please note: WAMC does not charge guests to appear on the station and any email about appearing on a WAMC program will come from a wamc.org email address.

Dr. Alan Chartock's Morning Commentary

WAMC's Dr. Alan Chartock discusses Joe Donahue's return to The Roundtable, and the first day of written questions from Senators in President Trump's impeachment trial. Attorney Alan Dershowitz argued President Trump's reelection is in the national interest, and therefore any quid pro quo to that end is not impeachable. 

Dr. Chartock also comments on his latest Roundtable interview with New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, and considers whether Chief Justice John Roberts will have to break a tie in Friday's Senate vote over witnesses in the impeachment trial. 

Dr. Alan Chartock is professor emeritus at the University at Albany. He hosts the weekly Capitol Connection series, heard on public radio stations around New York. The program, for almost 12 years, highlighted interviews with Governor Mario Cuomo and now continues with conversations with state political leaders. Dr. Chartock also appears each week on The Media Project and The Roundtable and offers commentary on Morning Edition, weekdays at 7:40 a.m.
