Today, we’re doing our best to cut out any sensationalism or politics about the sometimes-very-controversial topics of gun violence and gun laws, and even how or if mental illness plays a role. Instead, we’re focusing on what the data shows about all of it, like who is really most at risk of getting hurt and the actions that may actually keep people safer.

First up, I’m speaking with researcher and practicing emergency physician Dr. Megan Ranney. She’s the co-founder of a nonprofit bringing together medical and public health experts focused on responsible gun stewardship and reducing the rate of firearm injuries and deaths.

And because we know mass shootings can often cause anxiety and fear, we’ll chat with licensed family therapist Emma McAdam, who you may know from her popular YouTube channel “Therapy in a Nutshell.” She’ll talk about how to calm those emotions so we can still live the life we want.

When it comes to the COVID-19 pandemic, we’re in a much better spot today than we have been in the last couple of years. Still, public health experts want people to be aware of steps they can take now to avoid another surge this winter, especially with flu season right around the corner.

Our guest today is epidemiologist and data scientist Dr. Katelyn Jetelina. She has a popular newsletter on Substack, and you may know her on social media as “Your Local Epidemiologist.” She works in health policy at Meadows Institute and is a senior scientific advisor for numerous nonprofit and government agencies. She was even recently invited to the White House to share her expertise.

Dr. Jetelina is giving us a snapshot of where the pandemic stands right now. We’re talking about the updated booster shots on their way and I ask her a more personal question about vaccines for kids. Then, what she’s expecting for this year’s flu season and she offers us some hope for a future with no COVID-19 at all.
