1A - Birding To Help Revitalize Conservation Efforts
Some of the best songs you can hear this spring aren't on the radio.
Hundreds of millions of birds make their annual migration back into North America in early March. Despite their return to our neighborhoods and backyards to wake us up bright and early, a new report reveals they're numbering fewer and fewer.
The 2025 State of the Birds report is a joint effort spearheaded by a coalition of science and conservation organizations. It found widespread population decline across nearly all habitats and that over one third of species require conservation help.
But it's not all bad news. The report also finds that an increased interest in birding has led to more volunteer data that helped shaped the report.
We discuss what we can learn about our feathered friends and our environment while birding.

The Bulwark Podcast - S2 Ep1011: Susan Rice: This Is Bloody Serious
The administration admits it mistakenly sent a Maryland father with protected status to the Salvadoran penal colony—but at the same time, it says the federal courts have no jurisdiction over him because he is now in a foreign country. If some of us have no due process, that opens the door to none of us having due process. Meanwhile, Trump's administration seems hellbent on destroying the U.S.-led world order, Marco Rubio is acting very un-American, and we actually do have long-standing protocols for how a president's national security team should discuss a military strike. Plus, Mother Jones reporters show the absurdity of ICE's assertions about migrant gang membership.
Former National Security Adviser Susan Rice, along with Noah Lanard and Isabela Dias, join Tim Miller.

Lost Debate - Polyamory, Friendship, Love, and Jealousy with Molly Roden Winter
Ravi sits down with Molly Roden Winter, author of More: A Memoir of Open Marriage, for a candid conversation about the emotional, messy, and deeply human side of nontraditional relationships. In More, Molly shares her journey through polyamory, jealousy, and personal growth, and what it really means to forge your own path in love.
Molly and Ravi explore how Molly’s unconventional relationship structure evolved over time and how societal double standards have shaped our views on monogamy, control, and gender roles. Molly opens up about the intense reactions her story has provoked and why she believes it’s critical to define relationships on one’s own terms. Finally, Molly and Ravi discuss what it means to challenge societal norms without prescribing answers.

1A - ICYMI: Trump’s ‘Liberation Day’ Tariffs Are Almost Here
President Donald Trump's "Liberation Day" of reciprocal tariffs is almost here.
On April 2, Trump is rolling out a plan that would charge a blanket dollar for dollar tax on goods coming into the U.S. Trump clarified Sunday that this policy would apply to all countries instead of a more focused list.
The uncertainty around and scope of these tariffs (and a potential trade war) has spooked Wall Street and raised fears of inflation.
We discuss America's financial future.
