America Are We Ready is a series of national call-ins that  opens up space for listeners and callers from everywhere to talk and hear one another against the backdrop of the big primary and caucus nights.  Now, halfway through the primary season, WSKG is airing four additional hours of national call-in to set aside this year's horserace, and continue the dialogue on important issues.

WNYC’s Brian Lehrer ( The Brian Lehrer Show) and Kai Wright ( The United States of Anxiety) will ask callers from around the country to join in broad, good faith, inclusive discussions on key personal questions facing the country this election year. All of these shows will be at 8:00 pm EST.

• Monday, March 30 America: Are We Ready To Identify? If you’re a voter this year, how are the ways you identity informing your choice?
• Tuesday, March 31 America: Are We Ready To Defend Democracy? How much do you think democracy is expanding or being weakened in the U.S. and how much will that inform your vote?
• Wednesday, April 1 America, We Ready to be Counted? On “Census Day” what’s the biggest change in the last ten years that’s affected both your politics and your life?
• Thursday, April 2 America: Are We Ready To Face Our Fears?  What makes you anxious about life in America today, and how much do you look to politics to provide relief?
