Good evening, it's
Monday, November 19th. This is the Jive at Five, our daily community calendar

WESU offers talk radio from NPR and Pacifica, as well as independent and local
public affairs sources. Weeknights and weekends our student and community

Tomorrow: the religion vote, by the numbers. We talk with our faithful election analyst, Mark Silk, director of Trinity College's Leonard E. Greenberg Center for the Study of Religion in Public Life, about how the Catholics, the evangelicals, the Jews and the ever growing population of Nones, voted! Can't listen live?
