Ravi sits down with Emily Oster, New York Times bestselling author, professor of economics at Brown University, and founder and CEO of ParentData, to discuss the measles outbreak in Texas, the rise of vaccine hesitance, and the growing influence of misinformation on public health. They also break down the failures of COVID-19 messaging and the lasting consequences for experts now struggling to regain the public’s trust.
Emily and Ravi then turn to parenting and explore the illusion of control, the dangers of overprotective parenting, and why kids thrive with more independence. Emily also shares her insights on what it means to be a great parent—and whether having kids is the right choice for everyone.

Native America Calling - Thursday, March 6, 2025 – The ongoing push for MMIP action and awareness
A play in Burbank, Calif. exposes the frustrations Native Americans often express about the ongoing tragedy of Missing and Murdered Indigenous People (MMIP). The largely Native production, Four Women In Red, portrays a group of women who learn they’re largely alone in finding out information about missing loved ones. The play comes at a time of job cuts for Department of Interior officials and federal law enforcement officers. At the same time, the Trump Administration announced new efforts to identify remains of Missing and Murdered Indigenous People and reunite them with their families. Some states, including New Mexico, are making moves to reinforce their efforts to solve MMIP crimes. Bad Faith - Episode 454 – No Maher Land (w/ Miko Peled)
