Special Edition: Why Can’t We Focus?

Research shows all the screens we use each day might be reshaping our brains and shortening our attention spans. Later, I’m speaking to an expert who has spent the last three decades studying how technology impacts our attention and what we may be able to do about it. Dr. Gloria Mark is a psychologist and the University of California’s Chancellor Professor of Informatics. Her new book is called “Attention Span: A Groundbreaking Way to Restore Balance, Happiness and Productivity.”

But first, we’re talking about a medical reason some people struggle to stay on task. The number of people diagnosed with ADHD has gone up in recent years, causing a surge in demand for ADHD prescriptions and now a shortage of drugs like Adderall. Pediatric neurologist Dr. Sarah Cheyette regularly treats ADHD patients and has written three books about the condition, including “ADHD & Me.” We’ll get into why there’s been an uptick in ADHD diagnoses and she shares her top advice for how we can all improve our focus.

It seems everyone is talking about the artificial intelligence chatbot Chat GPT. It launched a few months ago and versions of it are now being used by companies like Microsoft and Snapchat.

Kellogg Professor of Community Information at the University of Michigan School of Information, a fellow of the Dalai Lama Center for Ethics and Transformative Values at MIT, and author of "Geek Heresy: Rescuing Social Change from the Cult of Technology."

Special Edition: Should Kids Play Tackle Football?

Americans love football. Last weekend’s Super Bowl was the third-most-watched television event of all time. But despite its popularity, statistics show youth participation in tackle football has trended down in recent years. Some parents don’t want to let their kids play because of safety concerns but America is divided on this issue. Even the American Academy of Pediatrics is still debating what the recommendations should be for youth football.

Today, we’ll hear from one of the people working to craft those guidelines. Dr. Andy Peterson is the team physician for the Iowa Hawkeyes football team and his research focuses on youth sports and the validation of sideline concussion tests. He shares his reasons for allowing kids to play tackle football.

But first, we’re talking about specific data that suggests why some communities are more supportive than others of kids playing tackle football. Mariah Warner is a PhD candidate at The Ohio State University and she’s the lead author of a first-of-its-kind study.

Special Edition: Tech vs. Privacy - Do You Really Care?

Perhaps you’re enjoying a new smart device you got over the holidays, or maybe you’re trying to cut back on how much time you spend scrolling on social media. Some of you are probably trying to figure out a way to keep working from home, at least some of the time. No matter what, my guess is that your use of technology has gone up one way or another since the start of the pandemic.

So what does it all really mean for our data privacy? And do Americans really care about privacy, or will convenience win out almost every time? Today, I’m chatting with Joanna Stern, a senior personal tech columnist for the Wall Street Journal and a contributor for CNBC.

She’s sharing the personal moments privacy does seem to matter to consumers, whether our devices are actually listening to us, and which newer technologies could be the next to transform our lives in the near future.

Joanna Stern's documentary: “The iPhone Baby: How 15 Years Shaped a Generation.”

Special Edition: Science of Giving Thanks + Gratitude Meditation

Gratitude may actually make you healthier. Studies cited by the American Heart Association have shown that people who regularly express gratitude tend to have lower blood pressure, sleep and eat better, and are better able to manage stress.

Our first guest is University of Michigan psychology instructor and doctoral candidate, Christina Costa. She has focused her research on how feeling grateful is connected to overall well-being and resiliency. She uses practices from her own brain research to live with gratitude, despite having brain cancer.

Meditation is one way to marinate in feelings of gratitude. To help you unwind from what are often fun but chaotic holiday gatherings, we’re doing something a little different. My friend Katie Krimitsos is the founder of the Women’s Meditation Network and has created a 5-minute, beautiful guided meditation just for us.

Special Edition: A Divided Nation – Analyzing the 2022 Midterms

We might not know all the results from this week’s midterm election but one thing we know for sure: Congress, and American voters, are still just as divided as ever. No matter which way the final votes fall, neither party will end up with an overwhelming majority in either the House or the Senate.

He’s a CNN contributor, host of the Flyover Country podcast, and served as an advisor to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. Then we’ll hear from Democratic strategist Leslie Marshall. She’s a Fox News contributor and host of the nationally syndicated radio program, “The Leslie Marshall Show.

Special Edition: Reaching ‘Net Zero’ - What Will It Really Take?

Starting this weekend, governments, businesses, and scientific leaders from around the world are gathering in Egypt for the annual United Nations Climate Change Conference. To curb the effects of global warming, a lot of emphases has been put on reaching a specific goal: net zero emissions by 2050.

That deadline is to, basically, give countries and industries time to implement changes that most scientists say are needed to avoid triggering irreversible, catastrophic effects of climate change. But what does that transformation to net zero really mean and look like in our daily lives?

Dr. Mekala Krishnan says it’ll fundamentally change every system. She’s a partner at the McKinsey Global Institute and she co-authored a research report that analyzed the economic impact of these changes – the major, society-wide shifts that would have to happen from jobs and cars, to the foods we eat, and beyond.

Special Edition: The Truth About Gun Violence - Breaking Down the Data

Today, we’re doing our best to cut out any sensationalism or politics about the sometimes-very-controversial topics of gun violence and gun laws, and even how or if mental illness plays a role. Instead, we’re focusing on what the data shows about all of it, like who is really most at risk of getting hurt and the actions that may actually keep people safer.

First up, I’m speaking with researcher and practicing emergency physician Dr. Megan Ranney. She’s the co-founder of a nonprofit bringing together medical and public health experts focused on responsible gun stewardship and reducing the rate of firearm injuries and deaths.

And because we know mass shootings can often cause anxiety and fear, we’ll chat with licensed family therapist Emma McAdam, who you may know from her popular YouTube channel “Therapy in a Nutshell.” She’ll talk about how to calm those emotions so we can still live the life we want.

Special Edition: What’s Next in a Post-Roe America

**We are releasing this episode one day early due to the breaking news** It’s official: The U.S. Supreme Court released its ruling Friday that overturns Roe v. Wade, which had guaranteed a woman’s right to an abortion for nearly 50 years. Now, it’ll be up to the states to decide whether to ban or restrict abortions. We’ve been expecting this decision ever since a draft opinion was leaked back in May. But today, we’re asking: what happens next?

Attorney Greer Donley tells us she expects "chaos” and “confusion" and is sharing the potential legal consequences of the Supreme Court ruling. She recently co-authored a paper published in the Columbia Law Review about this topic called “The New Abortion Battleground.

We also get the response and reaction from the president of Texas Right to Life, who also has his doctorate in bioethics and health policy, Dr. John Seago.

Special Edition: Expecting Better - Emily Oster on Baby Formula Shortage

The ongoing story baby formula shortage in the U.S. has left many parents scrambling to find enough to feed their children.

To help explain how any of this could happen, what parents should do, and what the data shows for the decades-old debate about breastfeeding versus formula, we spoke with economist, New York Times bestselling author, and mother Emily Oster.

Time magazine recently named her one of its “100 most influential people” of the year, citing her data-driven and popular advice about parenting and pregnancy in her books “Expecting Better” “Cribsheet” and “The Family Firm.” And now, she’s sharing the latest data-driven information with us, too.

Special Edition: Verdict, Virality & Violence in Depp vs. Heard (w/ Emily D. Baker)

At times, it’s felt like the whole world tuned in to see the drama unfold between divorced actors Johnny Depp and Amber Heard. The defamation trial dominated the conversation on social media for the last month and a half and sharply divided viewers who took sides.

The jury ultimately ruled in Depp’s favor and decided Heard lied about Depp abusing her. Supporters say Depp should be applauded for defending his reputation. Critics have expressed concern that this verdict could make domestic violence victims afraid to speak up against alleged abusers.

To help provide an analysis of it all, I spoke with a legal expert: former L.A. county prosecutor and Youtube star Emily D. Baker. Her live-streamed coverage of the trial attracted hundreds of thousands of viewers. She’s weighing in on how the jury reached its decision, how celebrity factored into this trial, and her take on the lasting impact.

Special Edition: Protecting or Threatening America? ‘Disinfo Board’ Explained

Earlier this week, we told you about the Disinformation Governance Board. It’s a new group within the Department of Homeland Security. Officials say it will fight the spread of misleading or false information that could have real-life consequences, especially when it comes from the Russian government or human smugglers.

But there’s not a lot of information yet about how it will work. Some even worry it will turn into something like the fictional “Ministry of Truth” that pushed state-sponsored propaganda in the novel “1984.”

We hope to break down the arguments from both sides of this and clear up any confusion you may have after seeing some of the headlines. To help us do that, we’re welcoming back the woman known as “America’s government teacher,” and host of the popular podcast “Sharon Says So,” Sharon McMahon.

And later, what is a war crime? The United Nations is working to gather evidence of war crimes committed in Ukraine. If Russian soldiers or even President Vladimir Putin himself were to be indicted, what would happen next? We’re getting answers from an expert on international law, Rosa Celorio. She is the associate dean for International and Comparative Legal Studies at GW Law.

Special Edition: Untold Stories of Non-Ukrainian Refugees

Today we’re taking another deep dive into the human impact of the war in Ukraine and sharing the stories of some refugees you may not have heard about yet. Among the millions of people fleeing are tens of thousands of people who aren’t from Ukraine, but still need a safe place to go.

Isha shares the stories of African students living in Ukraine, explains why she feels some of the news coverage of what’s happening has been offensive and offers a way for everyone to get involved — even if it’s as simple as posting on social media.

Special Edition: Hate Changing Clocks? Here’s Why We Do It

It’s been almost a week since Daylight Saving Time began. Why we do change our clocks twice a year? Polls have shown most American adults don’t like it. The Senate just easily passed a bill to stop the practice of changing our clocks, although if it actually becomes law, it would be up to the states whether to stay on Standard Time or switch to Daylight Saving Time year-round.

Today, we’re sharing a bit about DST’s past. Here to break it down for us is the man who wrote the book on time, Dr. Mike O'Malley. He’s the author of “Keeping Watch: A History of American Time,” and he teaches history at George Mason University. O'Malley explains why the very idea of a man-made clock was controversial in the beginning, how it evolved into the practice of changing our clocks twice a year, and some pros and cons of it all.

Now he’s holed up at an apartment-turned-safehouse in western Ukraine and is determined to fight back any way he can. He’s sharing his experience during this war and about the horrors his friends are seeing on the front lines. He also explains why he’s never been prouder to be Ukrainian.

Special Edition: Our ‘Space Junk’ Problem

What happens to the stuff we send to space when it breaks or collides with something else? A lot of it turns into what’s often referred to as ‘space junk.’ There are thousands of pieces of junk orbiting Earth all the time.

Just this week, one of those pieces - an old rocket - crashed into the moon. There was no major impact on Earth from that rocket part but other space junk could be more of a threat.

Today I’m joined by renowned space environmentalist and astrodynamicist Dr. Moriba Jah from the University of Texas. He’s credited with developing the world’s first crowd-sourced tool to better track objects in space. He’s also the co-founder and chief scientist for Privateer Space, a company working to monitor satellites and debris in Earth’s orbit like never before.

We spoke with Dr. Jah just before the rocket hit the moon. He told us space junk is a much bigger problem than that one rocket and has the power to disrupt not only our future in space, but life here on Earth.

Special Edition: Mascots, Stereotypes & Rebranding in Sports

The Washington Football Team is now the Washington Commanders. The change came two years after the team faced pressure from sponsors to drop the old mascot, logo, and name, which was seen as a racial slur. But this is just the latest change in a long-running national debate about the use of Native American imagery in sports.

Today we’ll hear from social and cultural psychologist, Dr. Stephanie Fryberg. She’s a professor at the University of Michigan and a member of the Tulalip Tribes of Washington State. She grew up on the reservation. Dr. Fryberg is a respected leader on this topic and has testified before Congress about her research.

Then later, we’ll speak with the so-called “Mascot Guru,” professional entertainer Jerome Bartlett. He’s talking about what he feels a mascot means to the team and its fans, and what it’s really like to be the one wearing the costume.

Special Edition: Battling Worker Burnout

You’ve probably heard of the “Great Resignation.” What’s the reason behind all those people quitting? A recent study by Limeade blames burnout as the top reason people are resigning. And the American Psychological Association reports burnout levels are at an all-time high.

We’re talking with two experts today, starting with Dr. Monica Johnson. She’s a clinical psychologist and the host of the “Savvy Psychologist” podcast. She’ll explain how to identify, prevent and deal with worker burnout.

You’ll also hear from someone who was impacted so much by burnout himself that he turned his experience into part of his career. James Nicholas Kinney is a global diversity and marketing executive, author and speaker. He’s helped dozens of companies as a consultant and is the chairman of “The Force,” which says it’s the first initiative bringing the world’s top brands together to solve societal problems through business.

Special Edition: Movie Set Safety w/ Halyna Hutchins’ Teacher

It was an old-timey Western with a modern, real-life tragic ending. A crew member was shot and killed while filming the movie “Rust” in New Mexico. As we’ve covered here on The Newsworthy, actor Alec Baldwin fired the antique revolver that killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and injured director Joel Souza.

Authorities say an assistant director told Baldwin the gun was "cold," meaning it didn’t have any live rounds in it, before he pulled the trigger. But that wasn’t the case. Investigators now say they think the gun did in fact contain live ammunition. But they’re still investigating and deciding who, if anyone, should face criminal charges.

To get a better idea of what may have gone wrong, and what should have happened, I’m talking with the president of the American Society of Cinematographers, Stephen Lighthill. He’s also sharing his memories of Halyna Hutchins since she used to be his student at the American Film Institute.

Special Edition: How to Disagree without Disrespect

Public fights over masks and COVID-19 vaccines seem to be happening more often these days and there’s at least some data to back it up. The FAA says the number of unruly passenger incidents is already 2 to 3 times the number from all of 2020. Most of them are over mask-wearing.

In retail stores, managers have had to train staff how to deal with screaming customers. And we’ve probably all felt the tension just talking with friends and family who may disagree with us. Today, we’re diving into why this is happening more these days and how to handle it, whether it’s on a plane with strangers or around the Thanksgiving table with loved ones.

We’ve brought Dr. Tania Israel back on the show. She’s a counseling psychology professor at UC Santa Barbara and the author of the award-winning book “Beyond Your Bubble: How to Connect Across the Political Divide.”

Dr. Israel explains how to de-escalate these fiery situations and shares tips for having more productive, caring conversations with people you disagree with. Plus, the words you should never say to another person, especially during a heated exchange.

Special Edition: Climate Crisis in a Divided World

Climate change has become one of the most divisive political issues facing America. It didn’t use to be this way. Gallup surveys show in the late 90s, about half of both Republicans and Democrats believed we were already seeing the effects of global warming and many in both parties also blamed human activity.

But opinions have become more and more divided over the last two decades. What happened? We’re talking about it with renowned climate scientist Katharine Hayhoe.

She says it was her faith as an evangelical Christian that first inspired her to focus on climate change as a career and later to write the new book “Saving Us: A Climate Scientist’s Case for Hope and Healing in a Divided World.” She doesn’t shy away from saying climate change is real. But she also focuses on finding common ground and calls on all political parties to pitch in with possible solutions.

Special Edition: Rescues, Recovery & Real Stories w/ the Cajun Navy

Thousands of people in Louisiana are cleaning up from Hurricane Ida, one of the most powerful storms to ever make landfall in the U.S. Who is there to help when first responders get overwhelmed? What happens in these communities in the weeks after the winds die down, the floodwaters recede and the national media leaves?

Volunteers are often doing the work to help their neighbors pick up the pieces and rebuild. One of those organizations is the Cajun Navy. The group got its start after Hurricane Katrina in 2005 when boat owners stepped up to help rescue people. Since then, Cajun Navy volunteers have become a regular presence whenever a natural disaster strikes.

One of those volunteers is Rob Gaudet. He’s from the Cajun Navy Ground Force in Louisiana and is the founder and director of the Cajun Navy Foundation. Rob has been on the road for weeks helping in the wake of Hurricane Ida. Today, he’s sharing what he’s seeing now after that storm and the types of volunteer missions that have stuck with him for years.

Special Edition: Is America Safer Since 9/11?

Today marks 20 years since terrorists attacked Americans on our home soil, killing nearly 3,000 people at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. 9/11 triggered two decades of war in the Middle East. But are we any safer now compared to 20 years ago?

According to a recent survey by the Washington Post and ABC News, Americans are pretty split in their opinions. About half feel we’re more secure now while 41% say we’re more at risk.

Today, we’re getting the perspective of former U.S. diplomat David Rundell. He represented the United States for 30 years in the Middle East and he was in Saudi Arabia on September 11th, 2001.

Special Edition: Afghan Women Under Taliban Rule

Women and girls in Afghanistan face an uncertain future now that the Taliban controls the country. A generation of women has been able to work and go to school, something they weren’t able to do the last time the Taliban was in power.

The Taliban have promised to be more moderate this time around. But this week, Taliban leaders told women and girls to stay inside for now because they say the group’s soldiers haven’t been “trained” on how to respect women. Guidance like that has many women worried about what their lives will look like, especially once the U.S. and news organizations have left and the world pays less attention.

We’re talking about this today with women’s rights expert and executive director of the Arab Institute for Women, Lina AbiRafeh. She spent two decades as a humanitarian worker overseas, including four years in Afghanistan.

But first, we’ll hear from Dr. Kate Williamson of the American Academy of Pediatrics. She’ll weigh in on what schools and parents can do to keep kids healthy, both physically and mentally, as they enter another school year under threat from COVID-19.

Special Edition: Conservatorships, #FreeBritney & Beyond

Today we’re talking about the #FreeBritney movement. It’s a lot more than just a hashtag. Popstar Britney Spears has been wrapped up in a legal battle over her conservatorship for a while now and new developments have been coming out every week.

The conservatorship is an arrangement that’s given Britney’s father, Jamie, along with a licensed “conservator” control over her finances and other parts of her life since 2008. That arrangement was originally put in place because of concerns over Britney’s mental health and alleged drug use.

But in the last few weeks, Britney has spoken in court. She says she's been exploited and bullied by the conservatorship for years. She says she’s been overworked without any breaks, forcibly medicated with lithium and kept from having more children. And she wants control over her life back. This whole saga has opened many people’s eyes to conservatorships for the first time and sparked a lot of conversations about personal freedoms.

Today we’re talking to family law attorney Christopher Melcher, who has been following Britney’s case closely. He explains why conservatorships exist, how they work and his takeaways from the Britney Spears case.

Special Edition: Uncovering the Mysteries of UFOs

Today we are talking about unidentified flying objects (UFOs.) The Pentagon recently put out a report summarizing everything U.S. intelligence officials have learned about them.

The report clarifies the mysterious objects Navy pilots have reported seeing over the years are real and not illusions. But they still don’t know exactly what they are.

We spoke with Professor Avi Loeb about this. He’s a Harvard astrophysicist best known for his theory that we’ve already had an encounter with an alien civilization. Professor Loeb explains why it’s unlikely the flying objects were man-made and describes the evidence scientists need to determine once and for all whether we’re alone in the universe or not.

Special Edition: Losing Religion in America

Today we’re talking about why most Americans are turning away from organized religions. Recent surveys show that for the first time in our history, fewer than half of American adults say they belong to an established church, mosque, synagogue, or other religious institution. The numbers have dropped significantly in the past 20 years. While the shift is most prevalent in younger adults, the trend is consistent across all generations.

Today, we’re joined by USC professor Diane Winston, who researches religion and spirituality. She’ll get into the reasons why people are turning away from established religious groups and what they’re leaning on instead.

But first, we’re speaking with pastor Cory Marquez. He left his old evangelical congregation and started a new church to attract more millennials. We chat about how religion is evolving and why he still thinks faith has a place in our modern society.

Special Edition: Convict or Acquit? Ex-Cop on Trial for George Floyd’s Death

Today we’re talking about what to expect in the high-profile and racially-charged murder trial of Derek Chauvin. The trial begins Monday.

Chauvin is a former Minneapolis police officer accused of killing George Floyd on May 25, 2020.

A witness video, now seen around the world, appears to show Chauvin using his knee to pin Floyd down on the ground for several minutes. The case sparked nationwide protests and unrest.

Now, the world will be watching as a jury hears the case and decides whether Chauvin will be convicted and put in prison or acquitted and allowed to go free.

Today you’ll hear from two guest experts about jury selection, key legal considerations, and the role both video and race may play during this process.

Special Edition: One Year into a Pandemic

In a few days, we’ll mark exactly one year since the World Health Organization declared the spreading coronavirus outbreak an official pandemic. It was also this month, one year ago, when the first ‘stay at home” order was issued in the U.S.

So today, we discuss whether the worst of this pandemic is finally behind us, what to know about the new variants popping up, and what our guest expert says would be the biggest mistake once we finally get back to “normal” life.

You’ll hear from both an epidemiologist and a sociologist about the past, present and future of the COVID-19 pandemic – one year in.

Special Edition: ‘Black & Blue’ - Police Sgt. & Social Advocate

After another week of protests stemming from a white police officer shooting a black man, today’s "Special Edition Saturday" shares the perspective of someone who knows what it’s like to be both a police sergeant who patrols the streets and a mother who worries for her four black sons.

Retired Sgt. Cheryl Dorsey is an acclaimed author of the autobiography, Black and Blue, and a 20-year veteran of the LAPD.

Today, she shares her experience from within the third largest local law enforcement agency in the country, and she gives her thoughts on recent calls to defund police.

We know there’s a lot of debate about some of these issues, and this is only one person’s experience and opinion. We hope her perspective, as both a police expert and social justice advocate, will add to that ongoing conversation.
