  • Why

    So I’ve heard interviews from 3 Palestinian hostages but not from a released Jewish hostage. Why? Your program can’t provide exploration by looking only in one direction. Do better, right now you are far from helpful discussion, your just one side, there’s no learning from just one side.

  • fascist boot licking

    Hope that the fascist boot licking would be fruitful for it.

    I had liked it due to recent reporting on various political issues; but cannot support it anymore. Personally would much prefer if my local public radio station would drop this show.

    Seriously stop “both-siding”.

  • Yale woman got it wrong?!

    I just heard an interview dated July 2, with a Yale woman saying Medicaid cuts wouldn't kick in until four years from now! Other sources say 2026. Either this episode was mistakenly released as if it's 2025, or she's actually wrong.

  • Very here and very now

    Here = the USA. The only news stories from outside the USA that I see deal with either Israel (an extension of US foreign policy) or the new pope (an American).

    Now = what can be expressed in a very short news bite. I have even heard a reporter whispering “briefly” to someone whom he had asked a rather involved question.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Psychedelics and the future of medicine
Q: What does the FDA's fast-tracking mean for psychedelic drugs?
It suggests faster reviews and funding support, potentially moving from months to a shorter window, with a push to accelerate clinical trials and expand access under strict oversight.
Mifepristone access is back. But for how long?
Q: Would patients in states with abortion restrictions still be able to get a medical abortion if the Mifepristone ban goes through after this temporary pause?
They would not be able to obtain Mifepristone under those restrictions and would likely need to travel to states where access remains, creating disparities for those without transportation or finances.
Did the Supreme Court just gut a major civil rights law?
Q: What does today's ruling mean for American democracy?
It could complicate the ability of minority voters to elect representatives of their choice by narrowing the test for when race can be used in districting, potentially prompting redraws and legal challenges that reshape political power at both state and federal levels.
A rabbi and an imam reflect on antisemitism and Islamophobia
Q: What should faith communities do in the face of rising hate and political rhetoric?
