Ologies with Alie Ward - Diplopodology (MILLIPEDES & CENTIPEDES) with Dr. Derek Hennen

How many legs? Why so many legs? What's a millipede versus a centipede? And again WHY SO MANY LEGS. We have just the guy for that: Diplopodologist Dr. Derek Hennen. As a person who’s spent over a decade sorting through leaf litter and naming scores of new species, Derek is truly a champion for the multi-limbed little critters. If you liked what Casey Clapp brought to Dendrology, get ready to appreciate millipedes like you never thought you would. Also: mythology gossip, world records, Taylor Swift fandom, and sniffing bugs.

Reset with Sasha-Ann Simons - Advocates Say There Are Inconsistencies In The Way The U.S. Welcomes Afghan And Ukrainian Refugees

Consider This from NPR - In Serena Williams, A Generation Of Black Players Saw A Legend “Who Looked Like Me”

Serena Williams dominated tennis for the better part of two decades. Her athleticism and aggressive style changed the way the women's game is played. And she inspired a generation of young Black players who followed in her footsteps.

Coco Gauff was one of them. At 18 years old, she was born five years after Williams' first Grand Slam singles title. Today, she's ranked 12th in the WTA rankings.

"Growing up, I never thought I was different," she said, "because the number one player in the world was somebody who looked like me."

As Williams plays in what may be the final matches of her career, in the U.S. Open, Chanda Rubin of Tennis Channel reflects on Williams' career and her legacy.

This episode also features reporting on the Williams family's time in Compton, California, from NPR's Danny Hajek.

In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment to help you make sense of what's going on in your community.

The Gist - A House Member Shouts “Fire”

David Cicilline is one half of Rhode Island’s two-member delegation to the U.S. House of Representatives, and while he may have been sent to D.C. by a small state, his contributions to the impeachments of Donald J. Trump were huge. Cicilline discusses his new book, House On Fire: Fighting for Democracy in the Age of Political Arson, and about growing up as the son of a criminal defense attorney who occasionally represented the mob, (and did so very well), and how his father’s work shaped his sense of justice. Also, why we don’t eat dogs, but we do eat pigs. And a guest Spiel from Dan Savage, host of the Savage Lovecast, about the word “women.”

Produced by Joel Patterson and Corey Wara
