Short Wave - Choose Your Own Adventure — But Make It Math

Ever read those Choose Your Own Adventure books of the '80s and '90s? As a kid, mathematician Pamela Harris was hooked on them. Years later she realized how much those books have in common with her field, combinatorics, the branch of math concerned with counting. It, too, depends on thinking through endless, branching possibilities. So, she and several of her students set out to write a scholarly paper in the style of Choose Your Own Adventure books. In this encore episode, Dr. Harris tells host Regina G. Barber all about how the project began, how it gets complicated when you throw in wormholes and clowns, and why math is fundamentally a creative act.

The Daily Signal - She Chose Adoption at 16, Now Tells Her Story Alongside Son and His Mother

Erin Boggs was 16 in 1992 when she learned she was pregnant. 


“I was scared, definitely kind of alone,” Boggs says. “So, I knew the decision was going to land on me solely, and it felt like a critically important decision.” 


Boggs says people around her suggested she could parent or abort, but no one recommended adoption, but that was ultimately the choice she made. 


“It was honestly through prayer and putting myself in each scenario and thinking through what each would look like, and adoption just made sense,” she says. 


About 23 years after Boggs placed her son Jordan for adoption with Jeanne and Scott Hamilton, she had the opportunity to meet him. 


From their first meeting, Boggs and Jordan Hamilton began building a relationship, and nearly eight years later, they, along with Jeanne and Scott Hamilton, are sharing their family story.


Boggs and Jordan and Jeanne Hamilton join “The Daily Signal Podcast” to explain how adoption changed all their lives, and why it’s a powerful answer to unplanned pregnancy.


Enjoy the show!

What Next | Daily News and Analysis - One Year 1955: Siberia, USA

While the What Next team enjoys today's holiday, we are proud to present this episode on viral misinformation in 1955 from our colleagues at Slate's One Year. What Next will be back tomorrow.


When Alaskans wanted their own mental-health facility, a rumor took hold all over America. This week, Evan Chung traces the origins of that far-right conspiracy theory: that the government was building a concentration camp where Americans would get imprisoned for their political beliefs. Get ready for a strange tale that involves a brainwashing manual, Scientology, and a vast network of Communist-hunting housewives.


Josh Levin is One Year’s editorial director. One Year’s senior producer is Evan Chung.


This episode was produced by Kelly Jones and Evan Chung, with additional production by Sophie Summergrad.


It was edited by Josh Levin, Joel Meyer, and Derek John, Slate’s executive producer of narrative podcasts.
