    Perspectives S38/Ep 6 Celebrating Culture with Alvin Ailey and football

    Few artistic institutions carry the weight of history, excellence, and cultural truth quite like the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater. For more than six decades, Ailey has told our stories—stories of struggle and triumph, sorrow and joy—through movement that speaks when words fall short. Today, I’m joined by a woman who understands that legacy not just as a scholar and leader, but as a steward of its future. Alicia Graf Mack is a celebrated dancer, educator, and now one of the guiding voices helping shape the next chapter of Ailey—where tradition meets innovation, and where new generations see themselves reflected on the world’s greatest stages. And the Super Bowl is today. We talk with former GM, analyst, player and author - Frank Lombardi about his book Football Done Right.

    Perspectives S38/Ep5 The secret to clean eating may be on your kitchen counter

    If you made a New Year’s resolution to eat better, feel better, or take better care of yourself—and you’ve already slipped—you’re not alone. In fact, January 9th has earned the nickname “Quitter’s Day,” when many people quietly give up on the goals they set just days earlier. But what if the problem isn’t discipline—what if it’s trying to change everything at once? My guest today believes better health doesn’t require perfection, privilege, or a PhD in nutrition. It starts with intention, access, and small daily habits that add up over time. Leslie Zinn is the founder and CEO of Arden’s Garden, a second-generation, woman-owned Atlanta company started more than 30 years ago by her late mother, Arden Zinn. What began with a single juicer has grown into 19 brick-and-mortar locations—many in food deserts—and a growing national footprint. Leslie is passionate about clean eating, functional nutrition, and reminding us that food is more than fuel—it’s information for the body. And she says one of the simplest tools for reclaiming our health might already be sitting on our kitchen counter.

    Perspectives S38/Ep4 Remarkable progress in the fight against cancer

    Last week, the American Cancer Society released its annual Cancer Statistics Report—and there’s some news that truly matters for families everywhere. For the first time, the five-year survival rate for all cancers combined has reached 70 percent. At the same time, cancer remains the second leading cause of death in this country, with more than two million new diagnoses expected this year. Joining us now is Dr. Shanthi Sivendran, Senior Vice President of Cancer Treatment Support at the American Cancer Society, to help us understand what this progress means, where challenges remain, and how patients and families can get support today.

    Perspectives S38/Ep1 Plundered: How Racist Policies Undermine Black Homeownership in America

    On today's show we are joined by one of the nation’s leading voices on property law and racial justice, Professor Bernadette Atuahene—Harvard and Yale–trained scholar and author of the powerful new book PLUNDERED: How Racist Policies Undermine Black Homeownership in America. As the country marks 70 years since the Montgomery Bus Boycott, her work reminds us that the civil rights struggle did not end on the bus—it continues in America’s neighborhoods, in our tax systems, and in the policies that determine who gets to build wealth and who gets robbed of it. Professor Atuahene weaves meticulous research with the stories of two Detroit families to expose how a century of predatory governance has stripped Black communities of wealth, stability, and opportunity. I’m honored to welcome her to the program.
