  • Awesome

    I have listened to this broadcast for many years from Canada. Trump’s actions have now been found unconstitutional. He will not be in the White House forever and hopefully the midterms will right some of his reprehensible actions.

    I can’t believe the propaganda coming from PBS. PBS is supporting a genocide. This must be the new Trump version of PBS. I can’t subscribe anymore

  • Great content, but why so many ads suddenly?

    Re-upping my semi-annual complaint. This podcast has been my go to source for news for years - great content - but the drastic uptick in ads over the last few weeks is making me question my listenership. I wouldn’t mind an ad or two per day, but they seem to be on every story now, even the 2-minute ones!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Constitutional law professor explains Supreme Court's ruling on mail-in voting
Q: What did the Supreme Court say about the timing of the lawsuit?
The Court said the states sued too early because they filed before the Postal Service issued its final rule, treating the ruling as a limited procedural victory rather than a resolution of the broader issues.
Canadian trade minister says reaching deal with U.S. in best interest for both countries
Q: You were at the negotiating table. What happened?
The talks were progressing toward a deal, but as Friday progressed, the U.S. tariff deadline and unresolved issues—especially around autos, steel, and aluminum derivatives—prevented landing a landing spot that Canada could accept as being in its economic interest.
New study reveals widespread signs of brain trauma among former NFL players
Q: What does this mean for current players and the decisions they make about continuing to play?
The data imply a serious risk that persists despite safety measures, and it highlights the need for ongoing research, better early detection, more effective treatments, and a careful consideration of how football is structured at all levels.
New study reveals widespread signs of brain trauma among former NFL players
Q: In your study, did you expect the rate of CTE to be so high, and what does that mean for the scope of the problem?
It is almost certainly an extremely conservative estimate, and the rate being so high across the sample suggests a much larger public health issue that extends beyond the NFL to youth, college, and high school football.
$17B Meta settlement puts focus on youth mental health crisis, Colorado AG says
Q: How will enforcement ensure compliance over time?
An independent auditor will oversee Meta's compliance, and the state will not tolerate non-compliance, with enforceable mandates and penalties if violated.
