Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Melissa Murray — The U.S. Constitution: A Comprehensive and Annotated Guide for the Modern Reader - with Eric Holder
Q: Is there any decision that you can conceive of, where we would say that the court was acting corruptly, where it would justify impeachment?
The discussion suggests that while there can be debate about impeachability for Supreme Court acts, the book argues that impeachment standards are specific and not easily triggered by a single controversial decision; reform would likely require broader constitutional or political action rather than impeachment for a judicial ruling alone.
Senator Lamar Alexander — The Education of a Senator: From JFK to Trump - with Jonathan Martin
Q: What did you learn from your mentors, particularly Howard Baker?
Baker taught me that the Senate is fundamentally about relationships and practical, bipartisan problem-solving; his approach showed that progress often comes from shared work and adjusting positions to achieve real results.
Senator Lamar Alexander — The Education of a Senator: From JFK to Trump - with Jonathan Martin
Q: What was the most fun part of it all?
The most fun was walking across Tennessee and engaging with people in their own communities, which transformed into a campaign strategy of listening, learning, and building a connection that helped win support and shaped governance.
Darby Saxbe, PhD — Dad Brain: The New Science of Fatherhood and How It Shapes Men's Lives - with Matt Yglesias
Q: How much does a child's temperament or an NICU experience affect the dad brain development?
Different experiences of fatherhood are likely linked to neurobiological changes; while the study didn't have enough sample size to isolate temperament effects, it's plausible that challenging early experiences, like NICU stays, can amplify stress and depression risk but also shape subsequent caregiving roles.
Darby Saxbe, PhD — Dad Brain: The New Science of Fatherhood and How It Shapes Men's Lives - with Matt Yglesias
Q: Would you be willing to speak some about the poem and what it says about your stepfather and the person he was?
The poem and the story of my stepfather highlight adoptive and step-relationships in fatherhood, showing how care and devotion can define fatherhood beyond genetics and how such relationships can broaden horizons and inspire an academic career.
