Episode 8 of Good Night and Good Luck, the radio program of Università Bocconi Television and Culture's students produced in partnership with Radio Bocconi, is based in a moment in time where its title, “Reality Check”, seems extremely fitting. While Americans gather to celebrate the Thanksgiving festivities and States are certifying Joe Biden’s win in the 2020 US Elections, COVID-19 third wave in the country is appearing to be the strongest and the deadliest in this tough year. A lot of the episode focus on the pandemic and the US measures to face it. There is also room for further analysis on the 2020 Elections, thanks in part to the opinions of Mr Connor Metz, a spokesperson for Republican Voters Against Trump, with some look into the future with the first profiles of the soon-to-be Biden Administration.
