August 24, 2026: Voter effects

We begin our quest to talk with all the folx on the primary ballot ahead of the elections next Tuesday Sept 1st.Starting with one of the candidates for the Franklin First State Rep. seat: Corinne Coryat. Stepping out of the shadow of the woman in whose office she’s worked for the past 5 years, we ask the former aide about the effect of those years with former Rep Blais, the impact of running for office amidst a number of other life changes, and the true course of her campaign which may get lost in the noise. Plus Mr. Universe, Consortium professor at UMass and Kainaat Studios’ Salman Hameed, is worried about the light, and crowding of the skies themselves. We talk about Reveal’s current project to launch more satellites in order to provide more light at night, and the many consequences that can have on humans, other earthbound species, the ways we study the skies, and much more.
