Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein and Libertarian Party presidential candidate Gary Johnson will hold a presidential forum that will be broadcast on PBS.

According to Stein's website, the forum was taped live Monday afternoon and it will air through two days on The Tavis Smiley Show.

According Smiley's PBS website, the forum aired at 12:30 p.m. Monday and it will air at 12 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. Tuesday.

An additional 30 minutes of the forum will be posted on Smiley's PBS website. It will consist purely of questions submitted through social media.

Questions could have been submitted on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram using the hashtags #TavisSmileyForum, #AskJill and #AskGary, but they had to be submitted by noon Monday.

“Yeah (I will probably watch the forum) to get more informed,” kinesiology freshman Julianna Andujo said.

Graduate student Leah Mack said she does not think she'll watch the forum.

“I’m starting to feel like there’s not any good candidates — I don’t know if I’ll vote,” Mack said.
