As the son of the Swedish Prime Minister, he grew up in halls of power, teaching at a prestigious university, running a bank and, eventually, heading the newly-formed United Nations. Yet his stellar career was cut short by a tragic plane crash while on a secret mission to stop a war. And, more than 60 years later, Ben, Matt and Noel are increasingly certain he was murdered. Was this death an unfortunate plane crash -- or a genuine assassination? Tune in to learn more.

This season we’re asking, how can the practice of “citizening,” in ways big and small, create a dope culture of democracy?
We’re getting practical, sharing things you can try in your community, in your workplace, in your home, and within yourself. To help us, we’ll hear from people like adrienne maree brown, Steve Kerr, Priya Parker, Nsé Ufot, and you! Our guests and live audience will help us find inspiration in everything from sports and birthday parties to climate action and web3.
Cause we need to prioritize the culture we create around our democracy as much as the systems that make it function!

While the price might spike occasionally, it would inevitably return to normalcy. Until, that is, quite recently. Across various social media platforms, local chicken owners are reporting that not only have eggs been rising in price -- but something in the feed is preventing their own chickens from laying eggs. Is there a conspiracy afoot? Tune in to learn more.
