Show Notes
As Black History Month comes to an end, Marist University's Dr. Robyn Rosen joins us to discuss the shifting national conversation on race and politics. With federal rollbacks of DEI programs, corporate moves away from cultural recognition, and evolving public attitudes, what does the future of civil rights look like?
Then, while Americans seem to be increasingly rejecting the idea of toxic masculinity and embracing emotional openness in men, traditional hyper-masculine ideals continue to dominate the political landscape. We explore why these cultural shifts seem to butt heads.
Finally, scientists have long debated it, but would it change the way you act? Plants! Can they feel, and if they did, would you be a nicer owner?
