Today, Explained

It’s an amazing podcast. It offers nuanced, engaging, and in depth looks into news stories often left out of the front headlines. I enjoy how it examines stories from multiple perspectives, staying analytical and pragmatic. I always look forward to listening.

Re: assisted suicide, what’s the difference between an implicit vs the explicit message “no one cares” at least enough to do anything helpful 😬

You lost me as a listener during the birth control discussion in this episode. Yes, the trad wife movement leans conservative, and yes, it is well known the right has historically been anti contraceptives. But going so far as to position the BC pill as totally safe in this episode, or rather imply that criticism about the health effects of the pill are outlandish is just bad journalism. It is well studied and understood that estrogens are cancer promoting and tons of women (myself included) have hormonal disruptions, fertility issues and general health issues from long term use. So please, put politics aside and report on facts, not emotions.

Great show! The CEO shooter: Wealthy kids turn 26, don’t want a job in the family company for many reasons, don’t deserve or want to work…Then age out of the parent’s insurance after they’ve been coddled their entire lives, then have to take a look at reality for the first time. Throw in an injury, most likely due to skiing, tennis, pickle ball, riding the Italian country side on a scooter, their lives crumble. So, he was indeed struggling.
