Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Left Behind in Jamaica: Dawn Post on a Residential Care Tragedy
Q: How do you think this would have played out had you not gone down there and represented these eight?
I believe that the school might have been reopened. If the media wasn't as aware of the situation as it was, based upon the advocacy of various organizations, I do believe that this is something that people would have tried to slip it under the rug.
Child Welfare In a Second Trump Administration, with Jerry Milner
Q: Can you kind of take people through how you in particular came to be the associate commissioner of Children's Bureau in the first Trump administration?
Milner explains that he never applied for the job, but due to his prior experience, he received a call out of the blue asking if he would consider it.
