We Have a Warped View of Crime with Jeff Asher

So much of today’s political policy is shaped by the public perception of crime—but what if that perception isn’t accurate to begin with? Donald Trump essentially won the election by spinning tall tales of record-level violent crime, and instead of pushing back, the Democrats mostly went along with it. But are things really as bad as they seem? And would we even know if they were? This week, Adam sits down with Jeff Asher, a leading expert on crime data and co-founder of the analytics firm AH Datalytics, to break it all down. They discuss the reality of crime in America, how flawed crime reporting has created roadblocks to meaningful criminal justice reform, and who stands to gain from controlling the narrative around crime in our country.

This week, Adam sits down with Dr. Alice Evans to explore the causes behind declining birthrates, the consequences they could bring, and how society's failure to break harmful gender role expectations for men impacts everyone.

Stephen Maing and Brett Story’s astonishing new documentary Union tells the inspiring story of how workers fought against all odds to claim victory over the corporate giant. This week, Adam talks with Stephen and Brett about the uphill battles these workers faced against Amazon—and the challenges they now face trying to find a distributor in Hollywood brave enough to release the film.

This week, Adam sits down with California State Senator Scott Wiener—one of the state’s most influential and effective lawmakers—to dive into its ongoing struggles with homelessness, housing, transit, and more.

I look forward to each episode and even listen many of them multiple times. I am fascinated to get to “know” the experts talking about their research, and then, go read their books or articles with their voice and personality in my mind. Thank you, Adam! Keep up the good work!

Listening to each podcast is like going into a different world even if you don’t dive deep into all of it. I love getting to know more viewpoints, problems, solutions, etc. Would love if there was more country variety, dunno, maybe Latin America
I don’t understand

On the 22nd chapter or episode or whatever, it is said at the end that everything counts to fight off climate change (paraphrasing); yet a few minutes before they basically bash people who by individual efforts try to do their bit. So, which is it? I did not like that because even though they might be right, in that even if all people drove electric cars and were conscious of their carbon footprint when they eat and buy stuff, it would not be enough to fight climate change, you cannot convince people to join a cause but ridiculing them. Or so it seems to me, I may be wrong.
