For decades, U.S. astronauts and Russian cosmonauts have lived side-by-side aboard the International Space Station. Host Aaron Scott talks with Science Correspondent Geoff Brumfiel about how a war on planet Earth is changing life in space and what those changes say about the limits of science as a tool for diplomacy.

NPR's Book of the Day - In Keri Blakinger’s memoir, the path from high-achieving teenager to prison to writer
Keri Blakinger says there are no rules behind bars. In 2010, she was arrested on a drug charge and spent two years in prison. And although that statement might sound counterintuitive, Blakinger says that inside the prison, no one is watching when it matters. In her memoir Corrections in Ink, she writes about her path from high-achieving teenager to incarcerated woman to reporter and writer. In an interview with Ailsa Chang on All Things Considered, she says reporting on the prison system has been meaningful because she gets to amplify the stories of those who are just where she used to be.

On this episode of the Hayek Program Podcast, we continue a special summer series of the podcast on Liberalism for All, hosted by Jayme Lemke as she explores the underpinnings and outworkings of a free and open society. Driving the discussion is a set of core questions, including:
- What does it mean to be liberal in the 21st century?
- What is the relationship between liberalism and equality?
- Is the pursuit of equality a threat or opportunity for the liberal project?
Joining Lemke for this episode is Diana Thomas, associate professor of economics at Creighton University and an alum of the Mercatus PhD Fellowship. Thomas begins by detailing what regressive effects are, followed by the manners in which regulations, even those with the best of intentions, tend to create such effects. Additionally, she tackles the issue of public risk reduction strategies, and how these can often end up crowding out private risk reduction strategies. As part of the conversation, Lemke and Thomas both discuss the push for equality, and whether this push is complementary or in tension with the vision of a liberal, free society.

The Gist - A California Template For Assault Weapons Ban
California children are half as likely to be shot as kids in other states, and per capita California has experienced fewer mass slaughters than the nation as a whole. One reason is the Roberti-Roos Assault Weapons Control act of 1989. We Talk to Mike Roos about the ins and outs of getting that legislation passed. Plus, What would we think of the assaults on the capitol is they took place in another country. Mike defends America more than you'd think, maybe more than it deserves.

Reset with Sasha-Ann Simons - Two Women On Why They Ended A Pregnancy
As a Supreme Court decision on Roe v. Wade approaches, Reset talks with two women who decided to end their pregnancies.
Consider This from NPR - The Emerging Deal On Gun Violence: Is It Enough?
A bipartisan group of Senates say they have reached a deal on a package of safety and gun-related measures. The deal is not yet done, but lawmakers say they are closer than they've been in a long time.
The package includes measures to enhance background checks for gun buyers under 21, incentivize states to pass so-called "red flag laws," and fund school safety and mental health initiatives. Is it enough? We put that question to Gabby Giffords, a former congresswoman who was injured in a 2011 shooting. Since then, Giffords has dedicated her life to calling for action on gun control, co-founding Giffords, an advocacy group that promotes gun safety. The group's executive director, Peter Ambler, also spoke to NPR.
