Sept. 20, 2019: Myth Of Plastic Recycling; Emmy Awards Preview

The Intercept's Sharon Lerner and Beyond Plastic's Judith Enck join host Tonya Mosley to discuss the issue of plastic pollution. Also, the Emmy's this year are set to pay homage to HBO's "Game of Thrones," which may overshadow other contenders.
