Tuning into bigger conversations through music

Season 2019 Episode 397 | 10m 16s

This year, NewsHour Weekend’s Christopher Booker and Tom Casciato reported on the notion of masculinity through the lens of music and also profiled musician Carlos Santana. They join Hari Sreenivasan to discuss their mutual love for music and how it informs their reporting — and why some of those stories are “unconventional” for television.
