S1 Ep 1326Special 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.

S1 Ep 1314Special 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. The shortage started after a critical manufacturing plant shut down and some products were recalled.

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.

S1 Ep 1308Special 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.
