On Thursday’s Radioactivity, our first guest is noble prize winning economist Joseph Stiglitz, who says that much of the anger expressed by voters during this election cycle stems from growing wealth inequality even as the country continues to recover for the recession.

Then we listened live to former republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s scathing speech on Donald Trump, during which he called the GOP frontrunner a “phony” and a “fraud” and made pointed critiques of his business acumen and ability to be commander-in-chief.
