  • Can find a story

    I don’t get why I can’t find the I story I heard yesterday about the FIFA team chants. What’s the deal?

  • 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.

Trump is trying to restrict mail-in voting. Will it matter in the midterms?
Q: What should mail-in voters be watching for as these rules move forward?
Voters should monitor whether their ballots arrive on time, know the available alternatives for voting, and stay informed about any last-minute changes or court orders that could affect ballot delivery or acceptance.
New FDA-approved drug offers hope in pancreatic cancer treatment
Q: What does the FDA approval change in terms of access for patients in everyday medical practice?
It allows oncologists to write prescriptions for the drug outside of experimental programs or clinical trials, broadening access through regular oncology offices, though insurance coverage still varies.
Flock cameras and chatbots: How AI is reshaping emergency services
Q: What is at the heart of the concerns that people have about FLOC and its technology?
Main concerns include privacy invasions from wide data collection, potential for inappropriate searches (especially for romantic interests), and the broader fear of surveillance creep where location data can be tracked without warrants, leading to civil liberties issues.
Flock cameras and chatbots: How AI is reshaping emergency services
Q: Tell me about Betty. How does it work?
Betty processes non-emergency calls by asking a set of predefined questions, creating a transcript and an audio copy, then routing relevant information to a telecommunicator for human review, while ensuring there is always a human in the loop.
Trump’s economic policies hit Iran, Canada and U.S. workers
Q: Did you expect more action than continued threats? What did you hear?
Negar Mortazavi suggests the actions are more rhetoric than a concrete, immediate plan, with questions about whether there is a clear strategy behind the moves.
