Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Project Censored – The Trad Wife Appeal / A Spotlight on School Book Bans
Q: Can you talk to us specifically about this report, and again, why it's so important?
Meehan says PEN America recorded nearly 12,000 school book-ban instances in the 2025–2026 school year, mainly in Texas and Florida, and cautions that limited public records and reporting mean the data likely undercounts the national scale.
Project Censored – The Trad Wife Appeal / A Spotlight on School Book Bans
Q: Why is this image of the tradwife appealing?
Peltz says conservative upbringing, economic insecurity, and the desire for family stability can draw young women toward traditional roles. She adds that conservative movements have used this appeal to reconnect with women, especially after abortion rights were curtailed.
Project Censored – Texas Tells Our Future / Sudan in the Crosshairs
Q: I was wondering if you could give us an idea of the situation there now, almost a year later.
Baba says the RSF's capture of El Fasher was a major turning point, with thousands killed and nearby displacement camps destroyed. He describes the RSF losing ground and legitimacy, while Sudanese civilians and civic actors increasingly push for negotiations amid worsening economic conditions.
Project Censored – Texas Tells Our Future / Sudan in the Crosshairs
Q: Could you give us kind of an update on what's going on because Dilley is the only concentration camp of its kind in the country, as I understand it?
Koithan reports that the facility held 576 people in her latest count, including more than 400 single women and about 100 children. She describes changing visitation rules, children being deported before their stories can be publicized, and inadequate food, water, and medical care.
Project Censored – Drones as First Responders / The Death of Freedom of Information
Q: Could you give a brief 101 of FOIA so listeners are on the same page?
FOIA allows any US resident to request information from federal agencies; states have similar procedures. The challenge lies in delays, redactions, and bureaucratic hurdles that have worsened over decades, particularly under recent administrations, making transparency difficult.
