The Gist - The Great Facebook De-Siloing Study

The 2016 election posed questions we still haven't fully answered about our elections, but today's guest, Dartmouth professor and elections researcher Brendan Nyhan, has some answers in the form of research he conducted with the cooperation of ... gulp ... Facebook. He's just out with some studies that put real numbers behind why Trump was elected in 2016, and what that could mean for 2024. Also on the show, Niger experiences a coup, and the world responds, "Um, like, could you guys stop that? Please?" And a California neighborhood is invaded by hungry goats. If only they had a $191,000 per year goat herder on the city payroll!

Lost Debate - Legacies Under Fire, UFO Hearings, Parent Poll

The Department of Education launched a civil rights investigation into Harvard’s legacy admissions policy. Is this the next domino to fall for college admissions?

In a bombshell congressional hearing, three retired military veterans spoke about the government’s knowledge of UFOs. Rikki and Ravi debate whether this finally confirms the existence of extraterrestrial life.

Finally, the hosts unpack some new and counterintuitive data about how parents view their public schools. Are parents actually happier with their schools than we initially thought?
