Connections: NPR's David Greene and Robert Smith, Lt. Gov Candidate Tim Wu

In the first part of the show, we chat with NPR's David Greene and Robert Smith. They're coming to Rochester Tuesday night for an event in conjunction with WXXI called NPR Presents Family Matters: Your Financial Lifetime. The event's purpose is to move the conversation beyond just talk for audiences at different phases in their economic journey.  

Then we're joined by Timothy Wu, candidate for Lt. Governor in Tuesday's Democratic primary. He's campaigning with Zephyr Teachout, who is challenging Governor Andrew Cuomo. Wu will talk about his views on what the Lt. Governor of New York state should be; if he happens to win and Teachout loses, Wu could end up serving as a kind of ombudsman in the Cuomo administration.

Evan Dawson is the host of "Connections with Evan Dawson." He joined WXXI in January 2014 after working at 13WHAM-TV, where he served as morning news anchor. He was hired as a reporter for 13WHAM-TV in 2003 before being promoted to anchor in 2007.
