Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Two months from primary, new South Dakota voters prepare to prove citizenship
Q: What actions are you seeing women take, and what do you think are effective ways for women to take action for women's rights in 2026?
Lampert emphasizes community engagement, consistent advocacy at the local level (writing and calling representatives), and building broad-based support to safeguard voting rights and resist rollbacks.
Two months from primary, new South Dakota voters prepare to prove citizenship
Q: Anything else you think is really important for people to understand as we talk about voter identification laws right now?
Lampert highlights the ongoing complexity and variability of state laws, the historical debt to women's rights movements, and the practical burdens placed on voters, urging listeners to stay informed, engage with representatives, and consider the broader implications for civil rights.
'Ghosts of Fourth Street' explores the promise and perils of childhood memories
Q: How did you decide what to include in the memoir given that memory can be unreliable?
I made it clear upfront that these are my memories and that some details may differ from others; I focused on what felt true to me while acknowledging potential gaps or altered perspectives from family members.
Why Artemis II matters for science and the humanities
Q: Tell me about Artemis II. What's the mission?
The mission involves a highly complex array of system checks, an Earth orbit to test electronics and life support, followed by a translunar injection to loop around the Moon and return on a free return trajectory, emphasizing safety and readiness before any lunar landing goals.
How the U.S. Constitution and state election laws intersect
Q: How do SB175 and the Save America Act interact in terms of what they require from voters?
The Save America Act requires proof of citizenship and photo ID for federal elections, while SB175 would require similar proof for state and local elections; neither affects the other's domain directly, but together they illustrate how different jurisdictions impose documentary requirements during registration and voting.
